My old pond photos
« on: January 23, 2007, 05:02:06 PM »
I bought a new scanner in hopes of  better quality scans to archive my old 35 mm photos.   My other scanner left the images too dark and the details in shade or shadows were lost.  I think this new one does the photos a little more justice ,but now to see how they look posted.   :)

OK, that's your old pond in pic 1???  It's gorgeous... and I love how you have the lily and fish pond together.  do they share water or are they on separate systems?

The lily pond and bog bed are separate but adjacent  to the koi pond.  I quit putting plants with the koi when the koi got large and numerous enough to make vegetable confetti out of everything I put in.

That combination of film and scanner seems to have handled the tonal range and colour very well, which scanner did you try?

The little red waterlily looks like a humdinger, does it have a name? It looks like a keeper

Hi Andy,
It's not just a scanner but the HP all in one Officejet 6310xi.

The red lily in the photo is (cover your eyes Craig  :) ) red flare. :)
