It was like usual when you have to go somewhere early. Had a health-related appointment at 8:30, and I had to wait almost 3 hours to get in. At least there was a “public” hotspot somewhere close and I had my Nokia with me. Still, it took ages.

Sorting frames to scan

After a nice lunch (fine again), I scanned the remaining frames, and I must say I love the Foma 200, great tones, hardly any grain and very fine to scan too. Need to get more of this. And I hope the Foma 400 will be as good.

Already started testing that one, I took the Bessa loaded with some Foma 400 too the 4. Web Monday (and first I could attend). Topic was web accessibility, not very interesting to me, but the after-talk was much more fun, plus I meet quite a lot people I havn’t seen for quiter a while.

Only problem of that was, i couldn’t post the scans today. But promise to do so tomorrow. And another problem, gmail gives me a temporary error. And Wordpress seams to have issues, the flash uploader dosn’t work. Have to check the plugins tomorrow. Looks one is trying some funny business.

Fans at the soccer game

After developing yesterday, today was scanning day. Took a bit longer then I thought, so the last film, the Foma, is still on negatives only. Rest is scanned, still plenty of films from the soccer EM, but some other stuff too. The Zorki fogged a bit, but otherwise all turned out quite well. And think I have to add a bit time to the TriX@2000 stuff.

I pt a few ones up here, but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow. Be patient

Aainst all odds, the weather started quite nice, so I could go to university, take my classes and get bach home without getting drownd by the rain. But not long after I got home again, the rain started with thunder and lighting.

Since with that weather, hardly any people would been in the city, so instead of going there, I started to scan the films I developed recently. And there I found out that I realy like the 24mm on the film camera. The sticky aperture it had healed itself, so thats fine now, only problem it still has is that when the sun is in the frame, contrast is down in the cellar. Besides that, its great. The scanned images can be seen on flickr here.

And also, I uploaded the panos from the fan zone.

The day started quite scary, when we found my brothers cat Jack almost motionless in the bathroom, with pawns and nose very cold. We packing him in the transport case and went to the vet, to see what was wrong with him. We don’t know what it was right now, but the vet keeped him there and put him on an infusion to clean his system again. We just have talked with her on the phone later, but it looks like he recovered a bit, we will know more tomorrow. Its still hard to say if he will be ok again.

When we got home from the vet again, it started to rain here quite badly, almost flodded the streets. Since I had some rolls to scan, i started with that. In the breakes from scannign, I talked with my brother a bit, he was quite depressed about his cat beeing so sick right now.

Scanning went all in al quite well, even when i encountered more problems with the films then i’ve thought. I still have to refine my developing process a lot more. The new scans can be found on my B/W blog here

First sorry this comes delayed, have notwork problems right now.

Today was a holiday over here, and since my grandma asked for some computer help and my dad had to deliver some stuff there, we visited her today. Weather wasn’t the best too, so I couldn’t take some more panos from the city, so I agreeded. Highways wern’t realy croweded today, so we arrived there in no time.

There it was the usuall stuff, adjust some parts of the computer that someohow got changed, explain some stuff about the emails agai, but overall, no big problem. After a tasty lunch, we showed some of the photos fro our vacation (you know those boring slideshows, or?),  we went back hom in the afternoon.

At home, my brother and me prepaired some stuff for my mothers surprise birhtday party today, but becasue she thought we will met up with her at my aunts house, that party was delayed a bit

In the meantime (and after the party), I started to scann some rolls I developd recentl. First one is allready in my blog. Check it out here.

A alarm clock ringing at 7am is never a good sign, and today was no exception of that rule. 8am classes should really get banned from university. Getting to university, they moved our class again to another room, and luckily I got there in time to get a empty power socket. Not easy with just 6 available in a room for 100 People.

Luckily, our usual professor wasn’t there today, instead the founder of the first austrian web site dedicated to females did a presentation about the internet as a virtual learning room. Not very interesting and I get already sick that this class is only about women websites. As if there were no other websites in the internet. Right in the middle of the presentation, they showed the powerpoint slide you see on the side. It was about that when you are confronted with a problem, the community will help you to find a way. I’m curios why the person on the illustration didn’t just walk around the wall, but I guess thats just because I’m not university material.

Next class was without our usual professor too, but his assistant held a short presentation, and then we watched a film. Well we wanted to watch one. First thing, they couldn’t get the sound right. You could hear the background noise, but the voice was impossible to hear, like the karaoke function some soundchip drivers have. After around 20 min of fixing with one of our house techs, they finally got it working. In that moment, I tap Michi on the shoulder and say “The only thing missing now is if it would crash”. And just a few seconds later, the screen went black and it really crashed. So much about those invincible MacBooks.

In the afternoon I went again to the university, and on my way I spotted those new signs for the EM. Since they will walk almost across the university, I’m looking forward to see how the fans will crash it. Anyway, at university, I met with my project group, discussing some issues about our presentation next weekend. Shouldn’t be to hard. We had to check by the university to see if some book was available and what we had to work out. I stayed there a little longer since the new NG was finally out. Quite a good article about the Cern there, hopefully I can snap some panos there one day too.

Rest of the evening was finding out what panos to replace tomorrow. Since none really looked thru my panos (just got 2 responses), i looked thru all images again today, will have to retake around 25 panos tomorrow. When I think I took around 100 on a good day normally, thats not very much.

Oh, and another thing, I got the scanner back from Michi today and couldn’t resist to scan in the half film I made with the Zorki. The lens look pretty sharp, and also exposure looks pretty good, apart from the strong under developing (not my fault), and also it got quite dusty in his cellar. Hope you still like the photos.
