>>3583380>scanning on a V700I see you keep the borders, are you using an ANR glass or just laying the film on the scanner bed? Pic related is reverse mounted on an ANR glass suspended on a custom holder for my V800.
>but I'm still very much at the point where if I drive 3 hours and walk 3 days to get somewhere I feel obligated to take loads of picturesYea I know that feeling. That also depends on your lifestyle. I have a full time job that has nothing to do with photography, so in the little time I can save for myself I feel like I'm forced to take an exposure. That's a mental trap. Master your patience and observe before anything else.
