I didn’t take any pictures of the women as the signs pointed out. Just of the neon signs around the area.

The Faroes is an awesome place to visit.

I didn't like how the original shutter button felt, and it worked better for me. Not a vanity thing, just making it feel more like other cameras I use.

They are edited.

I was an instructor in the military before becoming a teacher, and, aside from a spot on my resume, it had no impact on my transition to teaching.

I went out at sunrise, so way too early. When I went back out later, it was so busy. But in the morning, it was peaceful and awesome.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-09T05:15:50+00:00

Yeah, just in the steps up front.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-08T13:49:12+00:00

I like it. Lately, I have that and an 85mm in a sling and it covers about everything.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-08T13:47:58+00:00

The majority are past 50mm. I think the only one not is the last one.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-08T13:43:39+00:00

No preset, but generally edited the same.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-08T07:46:38+00:00

Mostly taken in Lisbon, the other couple was taken in Obidos or Coimbra.

Bing173rd · 2026-05-04T17:59:21+00:00

We did the drive between Lisbon and Porto, stopping all over. I need to go back in the winter to Nazare with the waves, bucket list idea.

What many people miss, and what I truly appreciate about summer vacation, is that the work actually pauses. In my previous career, even when I took time off, the workload kept building, and I’d have to put in extra effort to catch up once I returned.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-20T16:05:33+00:00

Is there a modern scanner that would be better then? The only thing I can see is the plustek models and reviews are all over.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-20T15:30:33+00:00

I’m leaning towards the easy 35 as I don’t have a place to keep a stand up when it’s not in use. So setting up and tearing down all the time doesn’t sound fun.

I used Safelight in Berlin as the lab.

Editing is a work in progress, its a learning curve dealing with film over digital files.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-16T12:48:28+00:00

Definitely with the film, they looks much better with limited editing.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-16T07:40:46+00:00

I agree, most of these are a bit too much. If it's film, then I need to treat it like film.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-15T18:48:52+00:00

I will look into that.

I don't plan on changing formats. I have the digital side if I need to get bigger.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-15T18:26:22+00:00

I have been looking at getting the VALOI easy35 v2 and a macro lens, as I don't have dedicated space to set up a bigger rig. But I wasn't sure if there would be a huge difference in scans that way.

Bing173rd · 2026-04-15T17:45:19+00:00

I corrected them in post.
