APUG is a forum dedicated to film use, but they have a freaking cow if you mention the word "scan". Um... How did the photos get online then? As a result, I'm not a big fan of that site. I have no intention of building a color darkroom. LFinfo is a good film forum, but large format only. Hybrid photo is the open spin off from APUG for film/scan/digital workflows, but it hasn't gained traction.
But this thread is fun and I always like to see what folks are doing with film.
APUG isn't too bad about scans. Don't go asking about which scanner you should get and how you should scan, etc. But they have no problems if you post scanned negs or prints. At least I've never had a problem. I wouldn't go making fantastic corrections on your scans before posting, but your images seem pretty straight so I wouldn't worry about it. There's a ton of info too available on APUG about all kinds of photography related info.

wow, I really enjoy the strange sense of scale there!
Thanks Daniel.
Those boulders and incredibly BIG! That tree is a good 30-40 feet tall. The little green clumps are 4-6 foot tall wax currants. I have been wanting to hike in that wilderness for many years, but this was the first time I had gotten in there. It will not be my last and I think these boulders could provide good subjects for many trips.
Another from lost creek wilderness. This was taken during a brief pause in the rain that fell all afternoon. The hyper intense green is a "feature" of the NPS I haven't worked out yet, but the blue tones are from the rain falling on the far bank of the creek. I wanted to capture a view of the diversity and scale of this rich landscape. It was shot on 4X5 NPS with a Symmar-S 150/5.6 and cropped to 2:3.
