Beautiful pictures, Peter.
What scanner did you use to scan your photos?

I wish a Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Antonio.

Merry Christmas Peter... Although I quit using film with my first DSLR camera and totally switched to digital, I am glad that someone is still using that medium!

Hi Antony : The scanner' I use is an old model Epson 1650 flatbed i was given by a Camera Club member ( now deceased) -- it has the strip light in the top - the Epson Software it came with does not work properly for 'medium format' as it was really designed for 35mm -- the friend had made a cardboard mask to take his 1960's B&W negs from his Yashica 6x6 camera -- I made some masks to fit 6x7 and 645 format as well -- then I WON FREE the 'Vuescan Professional' software from Ed Hamrick of USA and it works with the old scanner for medium format easily -- I save the scans as 'TIFFS' and do any sizing and adjustments in PhotoShop 7 or the free Faststone Image Viewer.
Richard : thanks for your comment too and Seasons Greetings to both of you - I am making some Fine Friends since I joined this site ( but I seem to be the only 'Real Film' user here ! )
