I’m not sure what kind of birds are living in that nest on the telephone pole: they’re big and look a bit like Parakeets… a quick google reveals both Monk and Quaker Parakeets in this part of Texas… I’m quite frankly shocked, and I’ll make a point to take the longest lens I have and try to get a closer shot. The majority of this roll was shot during a walk Hana and I took, past the library, through the new subdivision across the street and the abandoned subdivision behind it. And maybe it’s my processing technique (or lack thereof) and/or lack of a proper film scanner. Or maybe it’s down to the haphazardly-stored Lomo film. ![]() It was cloudy, though, so maybe it’s just me. I wonder what a whole-house water filtration system costs to install, operate, and maintain? It might be worth it, whatever it is, and not just for this: Hana and I are both losing a bit more hair than we’re accustomed to, and we think it’s due to the water we shower with…Ībout the negative scanning and processing: I’m not too sure about the color… these look fairly blue to me. And I should pull that one out and clean it thoroughly: I really like that picture. Thankfully, I’m pretty sure the spots are (mostly, anyway) on the base side, and so I can fairly easily clean them off. I tried and tried to get that out in Lightroom: no joy. Maybe you saw the splotch in the picture above. Big splotches like this, though, are more or less impossible, especially when they occur on areas of widely varied contrast, color, and texture. Some hard water, little specks of it, anyway, are easy to remove with the automatic cloning tools in Lightroom. The results of all have been less than spectacular. I’ll go into this a bit more in future posts, but I’ve tried the finger-squeegee method, a film squeegee, and wiping with lint-free (and lint-covered) cloths, as well as the Photo-Flo and some drops of dishwashing liquid in the Stabilizer bath. It remains to be seen whether or not it will help, as I haven’t been able to leave negatives alone during the drying phase. The big problem I had with this one (and this is an ongoing problem): Hard Water.Īfter this incident and some research, I ordered up a bottle of Kodak Photo-Flo. Thankfully, there was plenty to develop the bottom roll, so I didn’t make much in the way of developing errors. As mentioned earlier, I didn’t have quite enough chemicals in the tank to cover the top-most roll.
