Demon in an Eyecup

Kiev 60 Arsat 80mm f2.8 40mm extension tube Rollei Digibase CN 200 Pro Arista C-41 - In my previous post Liquidambar Styraciflua Fruit I notice a sinister face peering back on me from the "Gum ball" at the lower far right while I was scanning the film. Such and evil looking character deserved its on portrait, so I present,,,, A Demon in an Eyecup. This is my first roll of  Rollei Digibase CN 200  and I am truly impressed. The film has great sharpness, nice fine grain and tremendous latitude. Digibase scanned beautifully, with my Epson V500 getting very close to accurate color on the prescan. A test on my HP Scanjet G4050 using Hamrick's Vuescan 9  yielded similar results. Contrast is moderate and held well even when the film was over or under exposed. About the only complaint I have about this film is its excessive curl once dry, making it hard to hold flat for scanning.

Electric Glass Co. Phoebus, Virginia

Pentax ME Super Super Takumar 50mm f1.7 Kodak VR 100 - Pulling from the archive on a cold snowy day. This is one of my favorite images, simple with a retro feel. Shot in Phoebus, Va. in 1982 on a nighttime teenage photo safari, the Electric Glass Co. was a lamp and lighting store. A Phoebus landmark for many years, the sign is gone the building is now an art gallery.
