What the scanner saw

What the scanner saw. A sky. A flag. A bottle. An iris.



This was a blank bit of film at the end of a roll of Konica VX200

Super. I had set the scanner, Epson V700, to do "thumbnails" which

means it auto-finds 35mm frames and scans them. Usually, doing that,

it ignores blank spaces but this blue flag was duly scanned and

presented to me along with the pictures I had taken. Nice.



My favourite glass is this colour, a kind of cobalt blue, and one of

my favourite flowers is the blue flag iris, with a similar colour.

The white spots and smears here are dust or other surface stuff on the

negative, and the black bits are scratches. I didn't bother to take

any out; I just added the border.
