S visiting

I finally had this roll of Fuji Superia 1600 developed this week and

am well pleased with the shots on it. I shot most of it in June and

July, like these of S visiting my office and regaling me with stories.

(S, btw, is a good photographer but she doesn't want to move to Flickr

from her comfortable position on that site for square shots beginning

with the letter I.)



The 1600 film was outdated in April 2007. I shot it in my Konica Eye

2, one of the half-frame cameras made in the 1960s for people who

wanted to be, uhhh, economical with their film. "Cheap" is what

people who thought they were serious photographers called them. I

think half-frame cameras are great.



I scanned the two images on the left together but, although the third

was adjacent on the negative, I had already cut the strips between #2

and #3. So I had to bring them back together in PSP and in so doing

realised I had scanned with different exposures. Thus I had to do some

colour correction to make the three images as similar as they are on

the negatives.
