Another hot 90+ day so I stayed inside and scanned some old Tech Pan negatives taken in the winter about 30 yrs ago. Nice cooling effect ;)

Frosty morning at a beaver pond (note a raccoon left his signature in the lower right corner).

Carl: These are very nice. There's something almost therapeutic about scanning old negatives. I esp. like the tracery detail in the second one. Without the vegetation as a clue to scale, it could be an aerial of an Arctic landscape. The pressure lines around the rocks are neat. :thumbs:

Cheers, Matt

Thanks Matt and yes, it was very theraputic working with these old negs. They are quite thin, but scanned easily and much easier to print with my inkjet than the wet prints I made years ago.

Matt : amazing 70's serie love them all, and what a treasure you own with this box of old photos !:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Stephane: Thank you! :D It's fun scanning those and sharing them. I'll keep posting them. I flit about from scanning to shooting, and flit about there between cameras.

Matt: Those two 612 Fotoman images are incredible! The camera really suits the subject. Makes them Piranesi-like.

Scott: Cool! :cool: Are the last two the Holga? (didn't see Tareq's unit after I posted!)

Lewis: Nice light, framing, and pp. :thumbup:

Cheers, Matt

A couple more very interesting lantern slides. The first slide had the caption: "8/13/1888 Camp of the Clouds". I did some research and came up with some additional history related to these two slides.

In August of 1888 John Muir made an ascent of Mt. Rainier. Accompanying him, among others, was the photographer, A.C. Warner. In Warner's essay describing the trip, he noted that they were at the Camp of the Clouds on 8/13/1888 ( http://content.lib.washington.edu/warnerweb/essay.html. One of those gentlemen relaxing in the meadow is John Muir. The second photo, below, is displayed with the essay. Camp of the Clouds, which is at 10,000', was renamed Camp Muir. It looks like coloring the slide caused it to degrade.

ca. 8/13/1888, Philemon B. Van Trump, Guide for John Muir's ascent of Mt. Rainier, A.C. Warner Photographer. Warner Photographer


Some of the earlier lantern slides that I posted were also by A.C. Warner, and, I should have credited him. Here's a link to a website with information about him: http://content.lib.washington.edu/warnerweb/index.html
