Test scan on my new computer from my Daughter using my old ( but FREE !) Epson 1650 flatbed, Vuescan Pro and FastStone Image viewer to resize as i have not found a way to get my PhotoShop 7 onto new computer yet.

Very brave to sit in a small 'capsule' at the top of a giant Firework --- when are they going to invent something better for propulsion -- ??

Really enjoyed the B&W 'Street' Photos -- great timing and technically perfect.

All sharp and well exposed but several have a 'blue' colour cast -- maybe you should have used 'cloudy' on the 'White Balance' --- on FILM I use an 81B filter.

If I turn LEFT out of my house here in Brentwood Essex there is a bit of a 'hill' up to the next road-- not as good scenery though as yours !! Excellent photos.

Used in the 'Brentwood Yellow Advertiser' newspaper this week -- the Brentwood Gazette Staffer was there with his free 'Staff Nikon gear' but on looking at his results on the BG Web-site I reckon MINE beat his !

If you don't pay the RENT on the Little Box the BONES get tipped out and put into a sack and make good Photo Subjects such as THIS one --- ME Super, Agfa Scala film

Had my E6 slide films processed at last and have scanned some -- I used an ME Super -- 1 roll was on outdated Fuji Sensia II 100 ASA I rated at 80 ASA and two rolls were on outdated Fuji Velvia 50 I rated at 32 ASA -- I still have lots of the 'Gift' film left !!

I have two of those lenses on two Russian 'Zeniths' -- made in different factories in the Soviet Union by hard-working underpaid Comrades and found they were good lenses on film and digital.
