RE: PESO - from the archives

[John Coyle]

Thanks to all who looked and commented - for Bob W, yup, scanned with an Epson 
V500: I set Dust
Removal and Grain Reduction to medium and resolution to 2400dpi.  One of the 
reasons I used FP4 a
lot was the very fine grain and good sharpness that could be produced using 
Acutol as the developer.

Yeah but a lot of digital age photography just isn't good photography.

That's not new with the "digital age" either.

Sheesh.. I was just commenting on someone else's comment, which you omitted. 
I'm not interested in starting another nauseating "film vs. digital" thread.


Its an opinion I have about those with a P+S or cell phone that think 
they're a photographer.


Good photography is still good photography and bad photography is still bad 
photography regardless of what is used and who pushes the shutter release.


Continue to enjoy your adventures in instant film photography.

I've come to the conclusion that I will not have an opportunity to do 
much wet processing of older
photos, particularly given the size of the archive, which goes back 49 
years!  So, now I am scanning
only those worth preserving and probably leaving to my son, as they will 
be the main family history
photos.  The link below is of a shot I just scanned from 1972 - I think 
the quality holds up well.

Wonderful image & project.

I'm going through the images I took when I was small and family photos. I've
decided not to make a call on what is worth doing and what isn't, and I'm
just plodding through doing the lot as and when I have spare time. At the
moment my boys don't see any real importance in family history or photos,
and assume it will take care of itself in the future. It won't. I'm doing
them now and sending those applicable to other parts of the (now somewhat
geographically spread) family. Someone, at some future point may find them
of interest. The real issue is getting sidetracked by some images!
