  •  Comment Question: how close to original colors did you come with scan with DSLR. The other is you scaned developed film and checked colors with orignal picture ? Seems nice, but i miss more sharp, big aperture didnt help probably-f/2.8. Some (probably) mistake is annoted and one burnt pixel of left seide of cupola. --Mile (talk) 11:01, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for reviewing so detailed. I try to respond step by step:
    • Colours: I am always using reference slides with LUT for film digitalization. Here I used a Agfa Precisa CT 100 reference as colour table. So I can rule out any colour shift between slide and this image produced with my DSLR. Of course the film itself was making some shift compared to the real world in the first place. This file is looking very close to what the slide is looking like. And the image is very close to reality. You have to know that this room was built to have that kind of intense low light. I visited the "volcano" several times. And every time I am very impressed by this room. It is very dark in there. So for the first seconds you can not see any stone of that dome, just the very saturated yellow / orange glass. After a while the eyes adapt and the dome becomes visible.
    • Sharpness: Yes it was partially intentional. I tried to focus on the glass, more than onto the dome. Additionally it is a compromise for exposure time, because the tripod was not installable as stable as one would wish to. The is a statue below, and the tripod has to stand one one foot to not touch the statue.
    • The "strange black line" is a scratch at the film produced while processing. The "burnt pixel" is not a pixel but a film corn which somehow developed wrong. I will retouch both errors today.

  • @ August Got it. Looking at this, i think you could put cupola in upper third with some crop (as shown), what would i do, maybe as Alternative. Do you know what Dmax you have from this type of scan ? --Mile (talk) 08:50, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see your point. It sounds like a good idea. I tried it in several ways. To get the maximum two thirds look out of it, I have to cut off very much content and can not win some new in the bright right part. This would waste too much detail of the still limited film information. I think the image just was not composed for that approach in the first place. August (talk) 09:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
