I am holidaying at my sisters and although my laptop screen is pretty good, the monitor on the computer I am using to connect to the internet is way off!
The blue wall in the church actually is that colour. Very unusual I know but I just checked the original files, and the glass in that stained window is primarily a light bottle green rather than clear. As odd as those colours are, the HDR is not at fault. If anything, the colour of the pews looks a little off to me, and when I get back to a colour-calibrated monitor I'll try that one again.
Thanks for the comments. The waterfall will repay some more work I think.
Today's efforts will be posted later.
Best wishes, Kris.

Some recent photos from Cornwall. These looked OK on my machine but terrible on the machine I am using to upload them so I hope mine is the better of the two! C&C as always...

The next one makes me smile.
This one looks horribly garish on this computer but fine on mine so I hope the colours are OK over the web.
Last but not least, can anyone identify this wild flower? It is very small (c. 5mm across) and was growing on the rocks in a valley near the sea.

My MX has just been serviced by Harrow Technical and I am looking forward to getting it back. The nice chap even replaced the strap because it was worn!

Check out "Plastic Sandwich" but be prepared for serious prices...

As is often the case, John struck the nail on the head. The reason I (and other archaeologists) used Kodachrome was its archival properties. I have my slides in archival-quality hanging files. The K64 and K25 slides are as bright as the day I took them. Some of the others (notably Boots own brand from when I was poor) have begun to fade.What a shame.

I have a fridge full of K64 I must use up before they stop processing.

How much do they charge to have it serviced? and how often do you do it? Having not owned it long, I already know im not going to be very happy if its breaks
