That's all good. There'll be plenty more opportunities coming up on the nostalgia front, if I have any say in it.

I get to laugh every day because of Stella. She has a very individual personality. I especially like the "reversing across the room into the kitchen area" and then she sits and looks at the fridge. One bark if I ignore her. She is a lovely bitch. :)

Yes, your point about file size is handy. With that, and potential lifting of large sizes of images for unlicensed re-use in mind, it might be an idea to add a couple of posting tips as metadata at the top of each post. Such as max file size, accepted…

I got myself an Epson V330 earlier this year to tackle a few boxes of 35mm negatives. The results were great, but the process of scanning roll after roll after roll is seriously boring. Also, the noise the scanner makes…

They came out really well. I need to get myself one of those things to tackle Mum's drawer o' negatives.

My late father had a pair of Olympus Pen FT half-frames that he used to swear by, at least partially because he could fit 72 shots on one film. I remember there was only one place in Wellington where he could get decent…

Not a stupid question at all. There are a number of ways this could be done.

In this case the film was hand processed, and then I scanned the negatives on my Epson Scanner, which has a negative doodacky on it. I…
