The ones with the heavy vignetting were taken with my Sigma 17-70mm lens, which is made for APS-C digital cameras, which is why there is so much vignetting.
I however liked the look, especially at 17mm, so put it on and started snapping.
Hmmmm. Sounds like a bail out to me. Yes, its a photo, but I would still categorize it as ‘random shit’. Anyways, my link was all in fun, as much as your picture was… not sure why people are so hostile in this thread.
I love the pictures of the tractor! Not sure what it is about them, but they rock!
I have had scans done a few times. I found a WIDE variety in quality and techniques used to input. I insist on optical quality scans… no interpolation, where did you have your scans done?

yes, it was random shit also.
I was more or less talking about the entire convo, not just that single post. I’m just trying to keep the thread on topic.

Thanks.
We don’t have anybody around that develops film, so I sent it to Swan Photo Labs, and had them scan them too.
The prints look 100 times better, but the scans are alright. I’m going to pick up a good negative scanner eventually.
If you want the tits, have your stuff drum scan at full optical resolution. don’t settle for interpolated scans, which is what your flat bed scanner would provide. there are pro services that can do it for .25-.5 per pict so choose your pictures prior to drum scanning.
most of these guys work through the mail so no issues there.
I had your color picture of that tractor as my desk top at work for a while. My dad told me he thought that the snow didn’t look deep enough for the tractor to have chains on it. I told him it was taken in Alaska, so it was probably sitting on 7 miles of packed snow or something.
They use that tractor to clear out all the snow around all the houses in Coast Guard housing. I don’t think it’s the depth they’re worried about, but grip to push a shit load of snow at a time. It usually gets about 4 feet deep before they clear it out.
