No, they were never that expensive.

That's about £2,200 in today's pennies

HP scientific ones were well over £200! (I didn't buy one though!)

I think I'd want to see how others found it performed before entrusting something to blow air like that into the mirror chamber; ie to make sure that it really did push only clean air through!

You were blessed with wonderful light - it looks stunning. The atmosphere is great, helped by the cold and a bit of mist or is it smoke or steam causing the line of wagons to disappear. Great stuff!

Nice facial frontal! I do and don't agree with Nigel's comment. The person to the left of frame adds to the story of the image from me. If the blouse/ shirt were not white, then that would have helped.

But the important part of the image looks really nice and sharp

All very nice - like the last most. Managed to keep the red in the sun without it burning out - super!

Yes - I remember my early attempts at scanning left a lot to be desired!

@ David Trout - don't know which scanner you used, but mine is a Minolta elite 5400 using Vuescan software
@ t7er - have done one print and framed, but its not actually hanging on the wall! I really ought to put it up!

Thank you all for the appreciation - its been a bit of fun doing this, and a discipline to pick 5 from thousands of images!

StephenHampshire is taking over next week

An excellent set - with numbers 1 & 2 being my favourites; however no 4 has great appeal as well
