View from the Church Yard
These images are some of the view from the cemetery that surrounds St. Stephen’s church in the Mt. Newton Valley.
Overall it is a pretty idyllic spot, even for the dead.
Through a Church Window
Priest’s cassock through a window at St. Stephen’s church – a small heritage church in the Mt. Newton Valley.
The Can
Seen in Port Renfrew last week.
This is a sister roll of film to yesterday’s being from the same source with a similar history.
It came out much better, perhaps it had one fewer shocks in the past.
Fuji Fail
This roll of film was given to me recently – of unknown age and storage, though unlikely to be older than about 2005.
I have never had a Fuji product this badly degraded, though Kodak has offered up a few rolls.
Scanning such thin negatives is a pain as the histogram is skinny narrow spike to one side.
Still, I quite like the effect of some of these images, even if a couple of shots that I had hoped might turn out were a bust.
I see no point in dust removal on these images, in fact the dust adds a welcome patina.
Scanning
I left scanning to the professionals for most of last year as it takes so long.
But the expense has caught up with me, so I am back at it.
And remembering all too well why I drifted away.
This is my old x-ray light box, laptop and Epson V700 negative holders.
Combined
This image combines two favourite subjects, my mother and the storm drain, along with a favourite camera, the Olympus Pen half-frame.
I took this shot mid-February on one of those really nice days that are also a bit crisp.
It is one of four images, I expect others will show up around here sometime.
