Some slides on this roll of film came out with a pretty strong colour cast (also this image). I tried to correct it (see previous posting, http://www.usefilm.com/image/316429.html) but I was not really happy with the result. I spent some more time on adjusting the colour balance, to make the colours look more they way I remember them (with grey clouds and green water). Do you think it is an improvement? I would also like to know if you have an idea what causes this colour cast. Is it just the overcast weather? Looking at the tone scale histogram, the slide does not seem underexposed.
Hi Hermen, I agree, that's more like it. Clever solution, too. A very good book on this topic is Kelby, The Photoshop book for digital photographers; The Digital part in this sense is more of a marketing trick, it's mainly about post processing of images, either Digital or scanned. Quite useful, although very time consuming....:)
Cheers, and thanks for your comments; I see why you think II and III are more compelling. The triptych describes the building tension of the demonstration.... My favourite on that part is number II, maily because of the vertical lines, between the people standing on the fence and the speaker on stage.
Hugo, you are right... I post another attempt. Here, I adjusted the colour of the lower part of the image independently. Ithink the reed looks better now. (By the way, this shot was taken one week ago).
Hi Hermen, I think you've overdone it a bit; the green tones are slightly to much saturated (especially in the grass...); Even the reed has a greenish film over it. Zeeland in the winter has a more brownish tone over it (obviously depending on the lighting). Then again, I dont quite know when this shot was taken; it looks like winter, and judging by your earlier comment on having just bought the ND filter, I think it must be a recent shot. I've taken quite a number of photos in Zeeland; and I feel the colours of the original scan seem quite natural.... It may sound weird, but I find the light in Zeeland always quite difficult to shoot in. Not sure what causes it, though. I've been photographing winters in Zeeland on a regualar basis, and I always think the colours are way off...
The discolouration of the original prints can also be caused by an aged film.
