I see what you mean about the angles, I did get on my knees for a few. My trouble with the direction of the sun is where we were stood. It was at Banham Zoo and behind us was stand for spectators. And unfortunately the sun was coming up directly ahead of this so getting 90 degrees was all I could manage. Because I thought the trees and water as a background not a brick wall. so it was a comprimise.

was there for 3 hours and took around 200 photo's, the hardest was selecting those that might be a little different from the norm. But looking at your pics I have some very simular especially the harris hawk leaving the glove

Just had a thought, when viewing negatives whether colour or black and white there is always a light source behind the image. As womble asked about a light source in the lid, if you do not have one would placing a mirror or tin foil over the negative and using the scanners light source have the same effect?

I do not have any negatives to try this out myself so can't say for sure if its feasible

There are dedicated film scanners or a Flatbed and film scanners available. Prices vary but to give you a hint.

or

you may be able to rig something up for your own scanner along the lines of whats in that video

OK envy aside and all the ravings that go with it... nice photo's like the post processing too...... if you have a shot of the Lotus the 80's shot would look superb

I have been searching for a simular gismo for the android.. no luck as yet

First time I have tried this type of photography so all feedback is welcome. And any hints or tips for the future.

Camera was K-x with a Tamron AF70-300mm G4-5.6 Di LD MACRO 1:2

yeah it would. There are apps out there for cannon and nikkon so fingers crossed one day there will be one for pentax/sony.

the best way to learn photoshop is just to play to see what happens, if there is something specific you want to do there are free tutorials all over the place. also if you have an android there is a free app which gives you the basics of learning what photoshop can do, just search photoshop in the play shop.

but its the space and time it saves, single setting any size print including A0. time is money etc etc. its a one for all setting. maybe i am old fashioned but hey if its not broken don't fix it

makes my godox speedlite TT520 sound basic but it still has swivel head numerous intensity settings and body flash slave compatability . But for £26 what did i expect

I reckon the 300dpi will be for printing purposes.
