what I did with my new film scanner (and photoshop)
Shot this at the European using Kodak TMZ at 1600, I think it was at around 1/15th or 1/8th with a 50 f2.
It's my first attempt at playing with photoshop. If you look closely, (at least I hope you have to look closely), you may detect that the labels and the bottles came from two different scans of the same image. This was because the labels blew out under the exposure I needed for nice definition in the bottles. So today I learned to use layers, the magnetic selection tool, the stamp and also some 75% eraser... lots of fun.
The scanner, in case you're interested, is a Minolta DiMage Scan Dual IV. I"m very happy with it, but then - it's the first scanner I've ever used - so I'm not exactly an authority ;)
...oh yeah - you can click on the image to get a larger version - just in case you didn't already know.
