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.
