New photos added to Flickr
I’ve been adding some new photos to my flickr account today.
After recently getting a new scanner that can handle slides (more about that in another article) I’ve started scanning all my old slides (I have thousands).
To start with, I’m working through the photos I took during my time working in Antarctica. Don’t worry, I’m not going to inflict the whole collection on anyone, I’m just picking out a selection that I like.
Unfortunately, the years haven’t been exceedingly kind to my slides. It’s about 20 years since I took many of these photos. In some cases, they were then ‘home developed’ in the dark room that was available to Antarctic expeditioners on the bases. I guess they’ve actually survived pretty well but colours are starting to shift. Either that, or my memory of how the colours are supposed to have looked has shifted I guess.
Anyway, you can see the latest additions here (with this blog wrapped around them) or go directly to my flickr page here.
Enjoy.
