Surely do miss this fella

Sat out every morning on our way to the desert on some land near hwy 70 in

Debeque Co 🌲

After he passed, the land became the Debeque RV park - Still there to this day.

Shot with 200 mm K 1000 from quite some distance 1992

I like this portrait. If you can give more details regarding film and how you digitized picture I would appreciate it.

Ahhhhh!!!!!
I love it!!!!
I live in Colorado and it FINALLY snowed on Friday.
So I headed to Buffalo Herd Overlook to see if I could get one of these majestic creatures with the snow falling — no such luck.
I too have benefitted by driving by an animal and feeling a connection to it.
Thanks for the magnificent shot…and if you did convert from film… you or your lab did great work!

Thanks so much for looking.

Converting from negs to digital well hopefully your negative has stood the test of time. Some have and some not so much.

Then youll need a higher end scanner. Epson and/Canon scanners work well just a matter of choosing a quality machine that will accept ur negative. Lots of different size negs.
Then once youve got the film scanned into the computer youll need some knowledge about how to regulate light, contrast and color and old darkroom procedures so you can
navigate your imaging program which ever one you end up with. I like to use a real old one from Adobe, version four like over ten years old.

The Epson scanner I use has a function called, "digital ice" which has come in real handy in removing dust and scratches from my older negatives.

I recently started messing around with Corel. But if your unfamiliar with these systems, you might want to talk to the manufacturers about which one would work for you. Sometimes B and H folks are helpful. The folks over at Ricoh Pentax are also pretty knowledgable.

Or even throw out your question to the KP forum folks. They are real friendly and helpful Ive found.

Such a grand beast, and a fitting portrait. Very nicely done, from clicking the shutter to posting here.

Great shot, and not a subject I see too often! I'd enjoy seeing this in either a sepia or faux-selenium toned version.

Sadly "digital ice" doesn't work with my old Kodachromes.
