Another drum scan courtesy of Peter Figen - expired Astia through the wonderful Hasselblad/Fuji 30mm lens - went for the low-fi low-contrast look on a very windy morning.

This is from Monument Valley. A #29 and a #25 Wratten on T-Max 100. RZ and a 50mm lens. I've always loved the tonality of the rocks on this neg. Drum scanned, of course. Or perhaps a nice Velvia from a similar location.

very nice!
another xd-11, 24/2.8, portra 160 shot, this time from pride weekend in SF:
Thank you Jon. That sunflower shot has a 3D quality about it. Never heard of the Wolfpro lens before. Your grandson reminded me of ours' (3 of them!) and your wife's garden looks like one of those places in story books.
Here is one of our grandsons and his sister - in colour he is a flaming red-haired wonder!
Leica M4 with the tele-Elmarit (fat) 90mm f2.8 (the film may have been Plus X, not sure):
(yes a spotted negative! makes me think it was the Kodak 400CN I had developed at a lab which always produces dirty, badly washed negatives - haven't had time to spot this yet)

Perhaps it isn't too bad that it's low contrast, you can tweak that afterwards. Better than clipped shadows and highlights.
Sebboh, that first one with the 58mm has some crazy (good crazy) bokeh/grain. Love it.
A friend in LA is letting me try my hand at scanning with his Frontier 2500. I just epnt an hour or two scanning a few rolls. I see mostly what I did wrong, and look forward to trying again (sometime next week).
These are a few from a family apple picking trip last week. I have like 4 more rolls of 220 left from there...
It was pouring, with thunder, lightning and all. Not normal at all for SoCal this time of year, but the kids absolutely loved it.
RZ67, 110mm, expired Portra 160VC, Scanned by me. (looks like my main issue were too much yellow, too much magenta, too much exposure (density), and using the hypertoning (sort of like hdr) too much... I tried fixing them up a bit in lightroom, but they're still not that hot...)

I plan on rescanning all of these, so I may post some of them again...
Zalmy, your scans look terrific. And your "friend" is pretty cool... I've been following their blog since the "new" portra came out and they posted some great reviews/scans. I wish there were cool film shooters closer to me; I'd love to shadow a master printer in the darkroom for awhile.
As for you - are you simply the coolest dad evah, or what Puddle jumping kids - and your baby climbing already! He is getting so grown up!! Love seeing your family shots.
Zalmy - you handholding that RZ? I am joining the RZ67 club - wondering if I should bother with the WLF, since it's apparently so heavy.
It's taking a long to get back to where I was with shooting fast with my Hasselblad, especially with the 100mm which is so nuts it tolerates few (if any) mistakes.

Thank Katie! They're decent, but from from perfect. I've only met Bryan so far, and he is a really sweet dude, with way too many cameras.
Kids usually like the puddles better than wherever they are at (be it your backyard or disneyland). And yes, they grow pretty darn quickly!
Do you own chickens? We're seriously considering some egg laying hens...
Corp, I am handholding (there's no real way to shoot candid family stuff with a tripod). The waistlevel makes it lighter and much easier to hold. I don't really mind the weight. If I had to hold that thing up to my face all the time...
