Butterfly

Taken with my Nikon N60 film SLR about 4 years ago. This was scanned using a microtek 4800 scanner. Film used Fuji Superia 400 xtra.

Whoa! That's cool... what kind of lens did you have on your film SLR when you took it?

How much of a green base does Fuji paper have?

How does one even find a butterfly that stays still long enough to even get a picture?

Fuji does lean to the "cool" side of colors. That is the reason why I always love it for nature shots. The picture was a printed 4x6 scanned using a Microtek scanner. That was shot using a standard 18-70 Nikkor.

I use to work at a camera shop the summer before I started college at WSU. We dealt with film cameras (that's when I had my Minolta SLR) and we use to tell people to get Kodak for people shots because of the skin tone base, and then we'd recommend Fuji for outside shots because of the green base. I just thought of it when you mentioned your film SLR, Fuji, and you scanned it in.

Sorry, but I don't have a slide scanner. Plus, I never really kept my negatives. Printed Pictures? Yes... I have over 10,000. Digital, about 300 cds worth (about 600mb each).
