I have a negative scanner which converts them automatically.
Not much help to you, I know and you are a bit too far for me to nip over with it

Foggy Day

We had a couple of real "pea-soupers" earlier in the week. Here is a tree in our local park in the fog.

And why is it not in the fortnightly?
Funny thing that!
I hadn't seen the category for this competition until late last night. It will be getting entered there today. I wasn't sure of the etiquette, having posted it here, but I have David's permission

Thanks guys.
Number one is my favourite too. I was tweaking the levels and the sparkles just stood out. As son as I saw that I thought, "finished!".
I wasn't sure whether to crop number two, so put it on full size to see what you said.

I answered 35mm compact, but that was wrong

I think it was actually a 127 compact which cost the grand total of 50p ( one week's pocket money at the time ), but took some good pics. I was 9 when I bought that. (197

Magnesium powder?

Er - sorry
I'd have thought that would fit the bill quite nicely.


I have an old Canon flash you are welcome to. I'll take a photo of it later and let you see it. It might not be retro enough, but could always be modified...just remember there are some high voltages inside

I know sodium light filters are available for telescopes to try and deal with the problem of light pollution. Maybe one of these could be made to fit a camera?? I don't know as I've never used one.
