Here's a shot from our recent Lake District trip. On reflection, maybe I should have used it for the February POTY round, but I couldn't see any merit in it that evening. Taken near Alcotts Tarn above Grasmere on Portra 400 with the black Pentax MX and Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4. Processed and scanned (1200dpi) at Boots in Kendall. Bit of highlights recovery and levels adjustment in Aperture, plus colour adjustment using a spot on the wall as grey:
Here's the same shot re-scanned with Vuescan at 2400 dpi. Original colour was very different. Levels adjustment, grey point in the same spot, then some sharpening.
I thought this was an interesting comparison!
Chris, I like the contrast and vitality of the first photograph,I think with the processing you have created a good sky at the lose of definition and it does look flat. More interestingly to see would be to layer both shots and allow the first to dominate the foreground and mid ground and let the sky take over on the layer..
I like the detail of the first and it looks like a wonderful place to spend time.
