February 2025 - Landscape on skiing trip in New Hampshire
About the Image(s)
Description: It was taken on film so it does not have an edited version. I took this photo on a skiing trip in New Hampshire. It was a lovely partly cloudy day and it looked like the perfect opportunity for a simple landscape photo.

Noah, I started out on a Minolta X-700. Does the X-7A still work? (Mine needs the usual capacitor fix.) I've yet to find a really good 35mm digitizer, but have gotten some ok results on my 35 year old (gulp) negatives. What are you using?
Since you have digitized it, it is possible to make some edits - just not as much as if you could get a "raw" digital version. With digital versions of my 35mm film I'm able to bring out the colors more (with some work) and cloudy skies like the ones in your photo can be brought out more. (I lightly use the Light Room dehaze tool.) It is fun and brings back old memories.
This is a nice landscape with a good sky. Give it a try with one of the digital editors - any of them should work.
(Attached is an example photo of mine of the Berlin Wall. The negative isn't in good condition and the digital version is a bit wonky. Using Light Room I was able to clean up the frame and bring out the colors while making the sky even more hazy to hide defects in the frame. I'm betting you could do better with your photo!)
