… but something new. The UCI Anthill Pub recently reopened, and they’ve asked me for some of my old photos of the place to hang up on the walls. I’ve been looking at getting a film scanner for a long time now, so I decided to finally go for an Epson v700. Scanning black and white is a little tricky- I’ve been to many different stores and had them scan negs for me, and I’ve never been happy with the results. All sorts of things can go wrong- too contrasty, highlight or tonality lost, grain strangely accentuated. I always thought that it was just the nature of the beast- how wrong I was. This v700 does some damn nice work. Have a look.
Well played, Epson.
With this in mind, when the Pub asked me to shoot their grand opening, I decided to keep it old school. I brought my 50mm 1.4 lens and a film body. Here’s one, and I’ll post more when I scan some more.
