Post Christmas Fun - Film Images With Sprockets / by dale rogers

I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas! We had a very nice day and I even had a little time to experiment with my Epson V550 film scanner before the kiddos got up.

Here's a couple of shots I took at the Gippsland Campdrafting Association competition in Dumbalk earlier this month. I shot the event with an Olympus OM 2n film camera just to see if I could capture action on film and manual focus lenses. I also wanted the images to have a vintage look so I used a nice grainy black and white film, Kodak 400TX.

Here's a couple of frames that I have scanned that includes the film sprockets. This took some experimentation and work to get the scanner to not recognise them as separate images and not include the sprockets.

What I really love about this shot is I have the Campdraft Arena and the competitor in the first frame and the spectator covered 'gallery' in the second. They two images just line up perfectly.

What do you think of film images and how do you like this scan that includes the film sprockets?
