so i developed film at home for the first time today. i anticipated having a wonderful blog post all formulated today too, but i didn't factor in my incompetence with scanning.

i don't have a negative scanner. i just have an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier dealio that i'm long-term borrowing from evin. i spent quite a bit of time trying to tweak resolution and things on the scanner so i could get a good image, but the pixels kept defeating me!

now that i've got the pixels under control (mostly), i've got to tweak my backlight (iPod) and then...then i'll be good.

and then i can scan all the negatives, and crop them and fix them up all pretty so i can share them in a nice, neat blog post.

 

then, i'll buy a real negative scanner.

sometime.

:)

 

*oh, and this photo. there are water spots. oops! also, the camera...i didn't buy it, because i googled it in the thrift store and it turns out this thing takes polaroid roll film, which was discontinued in 1970. thank goodness for smart phones, otherwise i would have been out $10 on a camera i couldn't use!

 

*UPDATE 2-27-12: photo scanned with proper scanner and replaced
