Self-explanatory.

I have a suitcase full of 35mm negatives, but only a few scanned in that arent family pics going back over 50 years.

Anyway, heres a few more scanned from prints.

This first one is the view back towards the mouth of Horseshoe Lake on the Pipestone River in extreme northern Ontario. Thats a 29 hour drive from here in London Ontario or about 12 hours north of International Falls Minnesota.

Theres a sandbar just out of frame on the right hand side and the next night coming back to camp we saw what I thought to be two Caribou from well upriver. When we beached the boat and checked, they were wolf tracks about the size of the palm of my hand. Shot with the Canon 35mm auto.

Next is where I was Moose hunting October 2003. 15 air miles, or in our case, 90 minutes by 4x4 mostly in 4 Lo outside of Beardmore Ontario. It was so quiet standing there the sound of the snow falling seemed deafening. I passed on a calf on that trip. I put the crosshair of my .338 Lapua on the back of its head and squeezed the trigger against the safety and called it good enough. Canon 35mm auto.

Back to the Milk River Ridge in southern Alberta for the next three.

Hoodoo's! Rattlesnakes live in the holes and crevices in the summer to escape the sun. I never knew their were Cacti in Alberta until I laid on one to shoot a deer from prone. Sweet Grass Hills of Montana in the background. Nikon F3 HP/50mm Nikkor 1.2

More Hoodoo's. Same setup.

The next one is just approaching the northern boundary of Writing on Stone Provincial Park in the Milk River Valley Alberta. Simply fantastic deer hunting there. The farmer that gave us access from his farm had a sign on his fence at the road saying "Deer Hunters Welcome". It was typical to see herds of 500 Mule Deer in that area, but out of those 500, there might have been one or two mature bucks. The same F3 HP.

Next, the view from atop Radar Hill in Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Canon 35mm auto.

We were siding and window installers back then and we did a lot of work in the town of Biggar Saskatchewan. This was the view one day from the town dump after unloading the truck after work. I cant remember if I was still using my Nikon EM or if I had my F3 HP by then but it would have been the same 50mm 1.2 lens and I did the best I could getting the panorama.

This last one is the plaque at Waskisieu Lake in Prince Albert Nation Park Saskatchewan.

Thanks. I bought a Canon LiDE 600f scanner years ago so I could scan negatives and slides.



I'm not sure if they make another comparable scanner or not but I'm sure glad I have it.

Here's a couple shots of Mt Baker up near Artist's Point. There's a road available in the summer, but snowshoeing is clearly the better way to get out there.

A shot of some of the mountains of Lochaber taken from the top of a peak called Mullach nan Coirean. It was a lovely day, but extensive patches of rock hard black ice made getting up this hill and another two in the same range quite difficult.

Great thread! Quite a few I could share but here’s this year.

Little Cayman, Cayman Islands July 2019. The views underwater are even better. The island is about 11 square miles with a permanent population of under 200. It's an isolated beautiful little paradise and pretty much no one except divers visits.
