My slides were scanned with a Nikon Coolscan using Nikon Scan and then into Photoshop. For the b&w films I no longer had the scanner available so I started using my enlarger, mounted with Sony A6000 and a nikon macro lens. The ARW file can be brought straight into Photoshop or Affinity Photo for processing.

I managed to get a picture of a rhinos arse at Chitwan… not worth the scan 
That’s a beautiful photo, Rob. Looks as if it’s painted.

I’ll second that, there’s nothing like a bit of flat water and reflection to bring out the best in a landscape. I’d guess it’s been post-processed some, but if so to good effect.

Thanks.
That one hangs over the fireplace, printed on canvas with a nice pro frame. On canvas, it is hard to discern if it’s a painting or photo.
There was some post-processing; at the time, HDR was kinda my thing. In this case, I used a single image, but combined copies of -2EV, 0EV, and +2EV, which deepens contrast. Other than that, just a few minor curves adjustments.
It was my most ‘stolen’ work, which is largely why I left the business of creating images for online galleries. It’s amazing how many people just help themselves to photos without permission and repurpose them. (I once posted a nice night ocean shot on the coast of Maine. Somebody pinched it, layered a Velvet Elvis in the sky and posted the result as their own… the horror.)

Personally, I do like stairs. They are down-to-earth.
Sorry, couldn’t resist!
