ParticipantIf you want to scan negatives or slides, get a slide scanner. If you want to scan prints, get a print scanner. Don’t try to get one that does both.
If you are trying to convert your film photos to digital, get a slide scanner. Any of the modern Nikon slide scanners will do. Canon’s Canoscan is also a good value.
Scans from negatives and slides produce much higher quality digital files than scans from prints.
well, i’ll have mostly slides and negs to scan, but i was thinking it would be nice to have a flatbed (for doing scanograms, and scanning polaroids and stuff) as well. on the other hand, the SO has a flatbed already…hmmm.
ParticipantSo hey! Guess what everybody! I got me a job! Yes indeed, I’m now the first assistant to a fella named Mark Leonhard who’s one of the owners of Acme Photo Works in Highland Park, MI (www.acmephoto.com). I’m in like Flynn I tells ya. I got a key, and a security code and a little clicker thing to open the security gate and a company credit card and everything. On top of that I’ve got full and unfettered access to all the studio space and equipment I can handle. Needless to say the wife and I are stoked. This is shaping up to be a good year.
congrats!!!
no jealousy from the accountant whatsoever. *grin*
ParticipantGalley – thanks for the great comments in my pbase site!!!
and good luck with the quitting smoking – i’m to the point where i just smoke when i drink, and since that is not all that often, i’m pretty comfortable with that.
*sends anti-nicotine vibes to GalleyWench*
ParticipantWhat’s up, J-Hole?
ha – i got it right away, of course. *grin*
just in the midst of mad family stuff still – nate’s family just left this morning, so i may actually get a full night’s sleep tonight.
beautiful puffball shot logo – i’m right behind veruca for blowing rights.
hahahahahaha that sounds horrible.
Participanthey synthemesc!
What up monkey.
This month I have two fun photographic projects. An event poster for a private client where I get to do some creative ad work, and a studio shoot that will end up as part of a recruiting DVD at work. So 2006 is starting off well.
Once the event poster is done I’m going to post something on “the making of” from sketches to final product. Should be neat.
that sounds really cool – my SO and i are planning a collaborative art project involving doll parts in the shape of a xmas tree. we didn’t have it together enough to get it done for this year, but hopefully we’ll get our supplies and have it up next xmas.
other than that, i’m just trying to plow through everything i’ve shot in the past couple of months – organizing, keywording, etc.
busy busy!
ParticipantHey all! No entries this week, gotta keep my shutter finger in tone for next.
hey synthemesc!
Participanthiya monkeybort. glad you made it home safe and HEY congrats on last weeks contest. Awesome! 🙂
I wasn’t sure what to post tonight because I have no resolutions and really don’t know what year will bring so I went with what made me happy last year.
Excited to see how tonight’s thread will go. Expecting great things…
thanks! it’s good to be home, and it was really fun to do so well last week and have my parents see the thread and all the entries and everything. they really got a kick out of it.
i also have no resolutions – i just kept the ‘best part about last year’ in the front of my brain and used that to pick things. should be a good one tonight!!
/actually, it’s a good one *every* night, but you know what i mean. *grin*
ParticipantHey folks,
I’ve been a lurker for a few months. I’ve really getting into digital photography as of late (I FINALLY got a tripod for Christmas so I’m taking more pics now). I’m starting to flex my creative muscle, so I’m not that good yet. But I would love to get in on the Farkamera project! 🙂
hey Stu, welcome!

with the server upgrades and whatnot it appears that Fark is having some issues with the page refreshing and seeing new links, so here is the link to tonight’s contest.
Participanti think maybe a *little* bit of frontal lighting? nothing too harsh, nothing that would make that beautiful backlit shadow disappear, but just a little more light on the flower itself.
wonderful shot.
Participanthmmm….just realized that you maybe weren’t offering – i certainly didn’t mean to trap you into doing it anything!!

No, no, I’m certainly offering. It really wouldn’t take that much time, and it would be fun to track it across the world. As an example, everybody adds their address. When they receive the camera, they hit a link (with an e-mail to the previous sender letting them know they’ve gotten it, and to them with the address of the next person). And when they’ve sent it on, they hit another (with an e-mail to the next person letting them know it’s on its way). That way we can track the Farkamera.
It’s just another layer of fun for everyone. 😉 That being said, if we want to stick to the pencil and paper, that’s cool with me too — just because I’m offering, I don’t want people to feel they’re obligated to go with such a plan.
i love the idea of being able to track its progress, and knowing when it is on its way to me – sounds like a great idea if it’s not too much work for you!!

Participanti have been mapped!
it might be hard to just know the next person’s address…actually..hmm.
maybe if you sent an individual email to everyone, telling them who the next person in line was? that way only you’d have all the addresses….but then you’d have to send out 27 (or whatever) individual emails….hmmm.
Like I said, it would be pretty easy to set up something automated for this little project where we could collect addresses and then the system could automagically send out mails.
oh synthemesc, you’ve done so much already!!
Participanthi monkey! 🙂
it’s a little cutie eh? i’ve been asking around about airport xray scanning and am told that if we label the package well (i.e. please open to inspect – film camera enclosed) they are pretty good about it.
in order to see the big picture and to plan farkamera’s route i wonder if folks feel like flagging their location on this map: (thanks staplermofo!)

how do you guys want to do this? should we just know the addy of the person we’re sending it to?

Participanthiya, okay looks like we now have 11 shots on the 27 exposure farkamera accounted for. have been dying to post pics of the little blue beauty. waterproof (for you veruca!) bonus is you *can* shoot underwater!
here we go then:
oooo pretty! and blue!!!
/what a fun project!
