Edinburgh on Film

[Famous Graham]

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I've been mucking about with slide film in a Canon A1 on and off for a while. Valencia was my first attempt - I managed to tear the film off the cannister and then open the back

Then last month I obviously didn't load it right cos all the frames were blank except one, which was totally white

However, today, I got two whole rolls back! With photos on them! Hurrah! I got them scanned to TIFF by the lab, so they're a reasonable reproduction of the real thing. I must say, I do like getting a load of "proper" film back, holding it up to the light and going "Yay!" or "boocks, I thought that car had driven past".

Cheers Andy

LA - great innit I only wandered up there for the first time last week. And that was only the lower part of the crags too - didn't get up to the Seat or to the Loch yet.

My new flat's right next door, so now I have no excuse

I nipped into Chatham's to pick up a new battery yesterday, yeah

Where's the bowl then? Otherside of the castle to the Mound?

Would love to see some big prints of some of those...I'm sure the web doesn't do them justice.

Fantastic stuff.

Ta - I certainly intend to get a couple of decent size prints

Just got back in after investigating the crags a bit more and ended up nearly at the top of the seat - couldn't quite manage the last bit with my massively unsuitable attire and footwear

LA - did you mean the grass covered bowl directly between St Anthony's Chapel and the Seat?

Who did the developing and scanning? From the looks of the slides, the quality of the scans looks good - were/are you happy?

A & M Imaging in Leith did all of it. Pretty chuffed, aye

[imperialism2024]

Hmm if only I could find somewhere over here to do film processing for me where they would scan it in high-res TIFF... it seems like all the places I've looked only scan low-res JPEG.

Sorry to resurrect this, but whereabout was picture 2 taken? It's familiar to me...

Up the road between Calton cemetary and the Royal Mile.

If you arrive at the roundabout outside Holyrood and the Parliament from the Royal Mile, it's the first exit, then first left.

Cheers - not where I thought at all.

Great pictures, though, as ever.
