I’ve had a trying week (photography-wise) trying to scan 6×6 negatives that I’d made with my Yashica Mat. I’ve had pretty good results before and I had expected a straightforward workflow using my Epson 2400. Anyway needless to say I won’t but posting any just yet.

As far as I could tell the negatives look good and should scan well but the careless folk at the processors have introduced a snowstorm of dust AND on the best exposure a b****y great big thumb print. I can hear Ian Willson chuckling from here. So, back to the drawing board.

This is why digital is so appealing.

So to lift my spirits (and I hope yours) here are some Fuji S2 images from the April 2005 Longest Crawl roadtrip. These images were shot as we bimbled about on the ferry about to depart for Knoydart and the Old Forge, reputed to be the most remote public house in Britain.

As black and white images I’d say they are pretty much everything I would like them to be. And if I tire of them I can fire up Adobe’s superb Lightroom 2.0 and ‘re-imagine’ them.
