So I guess this means I should hurry up and post something. Too late/tired tho. I’m currently rotating photographs (the digital ones, haven’t put any of the four rolls of 35mm in for processing yet), and might possibly post a selection tomorrow. Maybe.

I’m now convinced my digital camera isn’t quite as magical in terms of quality as I’d once supposed. I was a bit trigger-happy and not particularly prudent in planning a lot of shots with the digital camera, and it shows. Mostly with colour balance/peaking. I can attribute that in part to being outdoors and having a tiny LCD viewfinder, but I can also attribute some photos to not bothering to stop walking whilst taking a shot, not waiting for exposure/focus to set on half-depress before taking a photo, etc. I was just lazy.

Anyway, I took enough photos there is good stuff there regardless. It’s actually mostly pretty good, but I was a bit disappointed with the peaking colours. Meh! The 1GB read fine on my Ubuntu box, for the record, so Windows just sucks. ‘Nuff said.
