About the Pictures

(from South America)

Scanning

Unfortunately I scanned these all when the scanner had a dirty mirror, causing ugly flare. This flare is apparently a common problem, at least with the LS-2000. Re-scanning the whole lot isn't a very attractive idea, but I did re-do a few of the best ones (with the worst flare.)

The dirtiest scan...

...and the cleanest.

In the mean time, I've also got a little better at correcting colour casts, so the very last picture has lost its flourscent green tinge:

Gear and such

FWIW, most of these are with a Nikon F3 and Tokina 28-70/2.8, the rest with a tiny Nikon Zoom 300. For some reason I also took the 80-200/2.8 along, but din't use it once.

All shot on Agfa RSX 100, which I could get for R12 = US$2 at the time.
