Thank you for a lovely photo. I often wish I still had one of my Hasselblads to use for film. They are a pleasure just using them.

That's what they told me at Tempe Camera. And if you should find some, don't buy it!

Well done. Haven't used film for many, many years now.
Thanks. Nor have I. I have five film cameras and have film in the freezer. But I'll admit to seldom taking it with me. Something has to be "film worthy" for me to take it. The Hasse is so easy to use, it may change my mind!

I just downloaded your picture and look at the image at 100%. Unless you have weird clouds where you live, the sky should not look like that. The blue appears mottled, not even. There are broad areas of irregular white where there shouldn't be any. I don't believe that this is caused by dust. So A. Get someone else to develop your film and see if the results are the same, or B. You're creating artifacts from removing dust spots in a photo editor (seems unlikely but possible.)
I have scanned thousands of negatives and slides. Dust spots have a sharp margin. Same with hair from my dogs that got on them. These are my thoughts.

I agree, WOW! , great detail & clarity. It's a keeper! What model camera & lens? More than 1 lens? I guess you clean the scanner & blow the negative off with air before scanning. Still, I imagine after the scan, you see the things you can't see with the eye like in macro.

The mottling in the sky is from my trying to remove the thousands of dust spots! The company that developed the film is the top place in the Valley, so I don't fault them. I fault the scanner. It creates horrid dust spots!
