First things first, my scanner was originally purchased to be a copier/printer for my homeschooling needs. The scanner was an added bonus to be able to send photos to the grandmas via e-mail. Then I built a freewebs page to share lots of photos, and now this little blog thingy I’m into. So, as a copier and printer, it does just fine for about $100 – give or take. As a scanner, it blows. I know that. Some day, I’ll get one of those way-cool negative scanners, but for now, this is it. I had my choice for my anniversary gift last month between this and the Sigma 170-500 zoom. I chose the lens. My photography will last much longer than this blog will, I presume. Therefore, I apologize for the awful line that runs through my dark photos when scanned. I’ve not posted many because of this fault. It’s not TOO bad on today’s photo, though.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. We hit above 80 yesterday, and it will be warmer today. Back to cooler temps on Tuesday, and cold by the weekend. Going to enjoy today while we can.
The sun had barely risen, and they were coming in from a morning out on the Bay. This photo was actually difficult for me to shoot. I had the lens pulled all the way out to 300mm. I was shooting with ISO 100 (wasn’t planning any action shots), the lighting was low, and the boat was moving fast. I only took two photos, as I didn’t think I’d have much luck. This one worked well enough.
Very atmospheric shot, nice image.
Nice one Micki. You now just made me realize that I am at work and not on the ocean enjoying life :) Just kidding. This is a cool shot.
Good, peaceful shot. I like the cool colours on this one.
nice capture...i like the composition and color tone:-) ...beautiful scene
I love the way the colours merge in this
nice mood here, well exposed.. but i think the composition could be strengthened by including more of the water? ha, juz my thoughts.. ;p

This is a lonely, yet peaceful shot. Very nice.
I hope your blog is still up when you get that medium format camera.
Fantastic image. Nice colors.
When I get film developed, not too often these days, I always get a disc run off in case I want to use any images for the web; expensive though if your shooting film mainly. I guess I’m lucky in that respect that I don’t have to go through the rigmarole of scanning. Nice flick today, you’ve caught the rising sun well and the returning fishermen are an added bonus.
You have caught perfectly or the moment, I like the composition and or that you have worked the illumination.
That looks like a lovely place to be right now. Nice capture there, it looks very atmospheric.
Beautiful light on the water...
Tena koe ehoa
Despite your scanner it's very appealing and has an extremely serene nature to it. As if the day is ending and there's a open fire and a hot cuppa waiting.
Lovely shot, it has a cool effect. Nice one Micki!
Great shot - a relaxing image..cheers :)
This is a peaceful landscape !
A moment for reflection.
Beautiful! Excellent !
Very simple, very beautiful and delicate! A moving photograph!
Micki i'm not going to evangelize digital photography here, but if you have the tenacity to set up a darkroom and master all the chemical know-hows, learning photoshop shouldn't be hard for you at all. :)
Micki, you don't have to sacn your pix, though this one is really beautiful. I never scan any more. When I get my film processed I have the images put on a disc and transfer them to the computer later. i almost never get prints anymore. The digital images are always available and also easy to work with in Photoshop.
Again, wonderful picture!
They usually are jpg of low res on the disc 700kbs for a 35mm frame. I turn them into tiff and pump the res to 300 dpi in Photoshop for about 3.5megs per image.
Way cheaper than prints and a lot less clutter. When I want a print, I make one.
Nice shot!
Hey Micki,

Nice warm tones. Great work.
Very peaceful, nice. Hope they catch some fish.
Very incredible atmospheric shot. You captured it perfectly.
