I posted a journal about how I photograph old negatives of my kids that I don't have prints for. Here it is. It's fun and you can get some half decent results. [link]

Ah great stuff I suppose it would work for positives too? I have a couple lying about
Im thinking of buying a flatbed film scanner, but im always wary that ill buy a low level £200 one, and want to upgrade

I have been looking for a flatbed that will do medium format scanning. I have been looking at the epson do a couple of good scanners, with the 4870 being the flagship. That will do 35mm 120/220 and 5x4. It is about £270 I think. It would suit me because I use larger format negs.
I have a little 35mm scanner that gives really good results.

That looks good. I have been looking for one that supports 120 because that is the film format I shoot in most. I may look at this one myself. Epson do the equivalent, but I don't think there is much in the price. Put it this way, if I had £230 to spend on one at the moment, I would get this.
I just use a little 35mm dedicated scanner. It cost me about £25 on ebay. They are about £70 in PC World. [link]

I'm a bit of an old hippy,and sometimes results like this appeal to me. This one was sheer luck. Thanks, Mike.

Ghost road! As I said to Steffi, this would take ages in photoshop. I'd be doing them on purpose ALL the time if I wasn't financially bound to digital

This camera cost me £10, and the film I get for £2.50 a roll. It's a lot cheaper than going out and buying a digital. I just love doing the developing. It is such a fulfilling and theraputic experience.

I bought the Canon to get some photos of my dog because I knew she only had days left. That was July and I've already had 1000 photos out of it. I'd waste so much film on learning, the digital really does pay for itself
