Developed two rolls of Fuji Acros today. I`ve got four medium format rolls, and 6-8 rolls of t-max400, 135 film waiting...
My scanner is not very happy when I scan the bigger negatives. I use the flatbed, and make a contact sheet. In photoshop, I cut the frames, and work on them, one by one. The filesize is small, but it works a whole lot better than my old scanner.
The 135 films are inserted in a small frame, and they scan great.
I`ve been shooting a lot of film lately, and I still enjoy the feeling of having to wait a little before I can enjoy the result. It`s a little like - eh, a little like.... hmmm...I can`t think of anything that is comparable, but I think you know what I`m talking about.

Torfinn again

I`m posting like a maniac- this is so much fun! Connected the printer today, and now I`m almost out of ink. Got to go shopping tomorrow. I also need to find a way to organize all my prints. The ones I make postcard-sized are supposed to be hung on the wall right in front of me, but I don`t want to frame them, so I guess I`ll try to use a big metal plate and magnets. Or maybe not.
I might use a stapler.
And make myself popular.

Dry

It`s good to be back - now we need to dig out the vacuum cleaner, and get things in shape.

I photographed my new friend with the 2.1 Mp Olympus Camedia C-2000Z. In order to get close enough, and to make the photograph a little more interesting, I shot through an old enlarger-lens.

Oh, and btw - it took about 15 minutes to make a new post. I`m used to spend 2-3 hours in front of the computer. Now I got even more time to photograph!

Obs!

We`ve been "on the road" for fourteen days, and now we`re trying to get organized again. Jeanette`s going to work tomorrow, I`ve got one week left before the vacation is over.

There has been a while since the last post, but my beloved computer gave up. (The one I`ve been struggeling with since 2004 ;) I finally bought a NEW acer 17" laptop, and I just love it!!! The first thing I did was installing something twice because I didn`t know it could be done that fast...

Today I installed Photoshop, and it opens in seconds! It used to take about two hours to post a photograph, now it takes.... eh, I`ll come back to that one. I haven`t pressed "publish" yet.

(And yes - I`ve photographed a lot the last months.)
