  1. Why does my scanner do this when I try and scan transparencies/film.

    It's super frustrating and I don't know what triggers it.

    Scanner:
    Epson V700

    Software:
    Image Capture
    Epson Scan 2
    VueScan (rarely as it's the free version)

    I also try removing and reinstalling the scanner via the print utility (feels like sometimes that has fixed it in the past).

    Flatbed seems to be fine.

  2. Guess who knocked the front standard again! Getting the hang, and using a wide angle presents itself with some headaches with the smaller bag bellows.

    Trying to correct for the distortion of the wide angle lens, parallels in the verticals and fiddle with the depth of field ‘in-camera’ by moving, rotating and tilting the lens and film plane is a challenge and was so, so close! I need to watch removing the old timey focussing cloth on my head 🥴

    Fairly happy otherwise and need to work out why the negs are getting scratched, I suspect it’s the film holder loading process. Second pic is the camera at work, third is a night time test in #norwich, #Norfolk.

  3. First test actual film photo from the large format. I'd hoped to have a more interesting photo but the tide was high and too rough to get to where I wanted with the intention of getting some halation effect on the film.

    It's also the first lunch break I've been able to take in a long while, so it is what it is. Loving it so far and need to learn more, make some adjustments to the bellows frame as I accidentally knocked the front standard giving a little wierd dpeth of field when it should have been locked.

    Oh, and developing. No more sloppy habits! clean fingers and clear dust before scanning in. 🤦

    Nerdy stuff:
