Kodak Gold 400, ME, SMC-A 28mm That's all I can remember other than both were low light, handheld shots. Scanned right to DVD at Costco. No prints made. Lotta grain but kind of neat.

I was reading some of the forum posts on scanning which mentioned scanning the negatives or positives in the case of slides. Would this be done like a contact sheet by laying them across the scanner surface and then cropping the individual cels out and reversing in PSP or Photoshop? Seem like a scan of such a small image then blown up would result in lower quality to me, but I'm just getting back into a more serious take on my photography.
As per the spotting, I noticed that too, but it didn't appear until after resizing the scanned images to upload. Perhaps I'm not resizing correctly or efficiently? I scanned at 1200dpi and the original file sizes ranged from 10.5MB to 20.6MB as jpgs (tried one as a TIFF and it was over 100MB!). Obviously going from such a large size to a 50kb upload seems wrong to me, but not sure what I'm doing wrong. These were from matte finish 4x6 prints.
Intentionally didn't do any levels/curves adjustments as it was late and I wanted to get feedback on the "raw" photos with no adjustments than what I could do in-camera (and with a K1000 it ain't much :lol:)
Thanks for the input,
John

I've recently gotten back into SLR photography from PnS. Picked up both a K1000 and SuperProgram and various lenses that came with them. These are some of my first shots on the K1000, so back to manual everything! I was fairly pleased with the results as my K1000 only has the microprism, no split screen like I had on the KR-5 I used back in the 80's.
Film was 200ISO Fuji
Lenses used:
Takumar-A 70-200mm f1:4 zoom w/macro
Goose - handheld, 1/500, f8 IIRC
Sunrise - tripod-stabilized, don't remember settings
SMC-A 50mm f1:2 in combo with ProSpec 2x TC or close-up lenses +2, +4
Flower and Moth - with the TC, tripod, didn't note the settings
Marigold - mini tripod and closeup lenses I think at a +6
The scans don't do them very good justice. What do most folks do to get film shots into the computer? I have an HP Photosmart C5550 All-in-one which has a flatbead scanner.
