Ruby Red is my favourite, though I was wondering about the truck being red as well. Likewise I was wondering how it would look with the post office sign in Post Office Red being a bit brighter. Nice idea, and I like the unusual angles..

I had some Kodachrome slides scanned in Bolton, but would not really recommend the place, it was expensive and I was not very happy with the results. I saw some that had been done with them taped to a window and shot with a macro lens that came out better.

Yes, definitely an improvement IMO.

I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of having a go at it with Topaz Adjust. I processed a duplicate layer, then used the eraser selectively at various opacities on the picture to try and bring her face out a bit more. I might have over-done it a bit though.

Rgds,

Lovely set, my favourites are the beer bottle and the rubbish bins. Greening of a Red Rose is nice also, but the light didn't really lend itself to the colours IMO. I used Topaz Adjust on the ones I posted, to try and give them a bit more zing.

I'm intrigued as to how PTLens put some wall in on either side of the machines that wasn't there in the original?

Nice shots, especially the first one. The detail is impressive. The pics I took in the church are all very noisy, the Kx seems better than the K7 in that regard. The only one I got of the stained glass window that came out at all is so distorted by the 10-20 that I can't really do much with it.

I'd love to see some of the shots you took of the graffiti.

Thanks again for a most enjoyable afternoon!

Whoops!

It was a great day out, I-berg is a great guide! I hope he's going to post some of his shots too. I would not have found any of this stuff without his expert guidance!

The first one looks great, the second one looks like a good way to wreck a camera!

Nice set, really like the first two: I prefer the colour version of the first shot, the sky looks better in colour IMHO.
