Nice shots but I try to be careful about cutting off parts of the subject at the edges.

I think the bush in #2 adds more interest and sense of place. I don’t see it as a distraction. #1 is too sterile.

Very nice set. Like they say, photography is all about the light.

I use a Sigma 10-20 on my D7200. I really like it.

I use a Lite Scoop by Lite Genius. Works great. Set the flash on TTL, camera on Manual, shutter at 1/200, aperture at 4.5, and ISO at 400. The flash controls the light on the subject, the high shutter speed dampens any affect from ambient light, the aperture can be changed to affect DoF, and the ISO can be increased to reach out a bit further if needed.

My iPhone 10xr saves photos in Apple's HEIF format. I can set it so they’re converted to JPEG when transferred to my PC. I can do RAW using an app called Pro Photo and transfer RAW to my PC if I want to. I’m not aware that the default file format for an iPhone or an Android is RAW.

Easier to pull the card for me.
Much easier. And probably faster.


Agree.

The thing about the Epson V600 is that it has an effective optical resolution somewhere around 1800 dpi (yes, scanner resolution is measured in physical dots, which you can think of as samples per linear inch in both directions up and down or across the scanner bed).

You can scan at higher resolutions, but they will not add detail to the scan, just file size in extra pixels used to describe the dots.

Scanning PRINTS at 300dpi AT REPRODUCTION SIZE, NOT ORIGINAL SIZE, yields good results. Scan at 600 dpi if you want to double the reproduction size by reducing resolution to 300 PPI in post (without resampling).

Scanning 35mm film at 2400 dpi is necessary if you intend to make reasonably large prints (8x10 or 11x14 or so).

Another issue with the scanner is the focus. Scanners are set to focus on paper that is pressed tightly against the glass. They rarely focus properly on film, especially film in slide mounts. Slide mount thickness drastically affects the focus. There are some aftermarket film holders with height adjustments on them so you can control focus a little better, but they're only marginally better than the Epson film holders.

The key to handling silk papers is to macro photograph them with very large light sources that wrap around all the little bumps. I used 24x32" soft boxes on either side of my copy stand for a while. I never had a problem with surface texture.

Copying media to raw files and doing post production in Lightroom Classic makes it easy to get what you want, but it does take time.

What would you recommend for severely damaged photos that will need lots of cloning and color correction? Would a high quality file help all that much?

Good job. It takes a lot of patience to work on something like that first one.

I scan at 600dpi. Don’t need any higher resolution. May go higher if I have one photo that could be a nice larger print. I don’t use it but I’ve read that VueScan is worth using for more options on the setup.

But then if you want fast scanning get a higher priced model.

I have a Tokina 100mm 2.8 Macro for my D7200 and really like it. Moderately priced with good quality.

Nice capture. They’re a great street camera.
