I finally got around to developing three rolls of film that were up to a year and a half old. I picked them up today and this was the photo I liked best:

Jen in Fort Tryon Park
Ilford HP5, 24mm

I also tried having the lab scan to CD for the first time. It cost me $15 per roll for processing and CD output. The CD was full of 6 megapixel (2992 x 2000) 24-bit JPEG files just under a megabyte in size per image. It was hard to judge the quality of the scans given that my film had gotten old and quite grainy. I’ll try it again sometime on fresh color film and see how that looks. These are no substitute for high quality scans to print from, but for reference and web use, they’re all right. They also came with a small square index print for each roll, which was a convenient reference.

Anyway, this photo illustrates the technique of using a wide angle lens from a low perspective to accentuate legginess, not that she needs it!
