Thanks Joanna,
Here are the details then;
The Tulippy one - Iron Suspension Bridge over the river Great Ouse in Bedford. (Ebony RSW 150mm with tilt, 1/2 sec @ f32 plus inverted 0.6ND Grad).
The funny bridge one - Butterfly Bridge over the river Great Ouse in Bedford. (Ebony RSW 150mm, 1/4 sec @ f32 plus 0.6ND Grad).
Both on OLD Velvia 50.

I think I get what you mean about flat lighting but they dont lack contrast!Joanna Carter wrote:These are both nice enough pictures but I would like to know why they appear so flat and lacking in contrast. Are the trannies like this or is than something that has crept in at the scanning stage ?

Hi Nigel,
I can see what Joanna means, I just saved the bridge image and loaded into CS3 - the bulk of the histogram is over on the left side, which is why the image appears a little dark. I just tried a quick curve adjustment layer and it comes up nicely, although needs a little masking to hold back the highlights.
I guess in the scan holding the highlights on the bridge has pushed the rest of the image down - you could apply the adjustment in the scanner software if you wished, although TBH I find it easier to just set the upper and lower levels and then do the main adjustments in photoshop.
Haven't been through Bedford for quite a while,
Jonathan
