I love the schooner one too- the slightly blurry bird flying really makes it, with the crisp water. it would be excellent if you could turn them into high quality prints.

Your old pics made me go look at my old pics:

Image

Here's my new town in the olden days. The big white building on the left is the pub and hotel. Behind it, the big white one highest on the hill is the old brothel my friends are turning into a hostel. It's cool, there's still super old carpet runners on the stairs. You can see the church up the hill past the brothel- my friends' om lives there. The white building on the front street partly behind the railroad station is where my house is.

The woods have all been burned down- the whole town burned down at one point, except the pub up to the church.

Do any photo people have suggestions for how I can turn these into nice prints to frame?

Tony, looks good to me. I don't think it looks unfriendly either. I think it says energy, passion, mystery. I'd like to party, carouse, and make general mischief under that moon.

Well blue, let's just say it was a rough day. And then I had to save my friend from getting his ass kicked by two skin heads, and well... the freaks were out... so I went home and got out the camera and the 350 and I shot this.

tony, I can see how that might affect the way you felt about it. To each his own.

In case you or anyone is curious, these glass-plate negatives from my collection are being scanned on an Epson 10000XL at 300 dpi with SilverFast AI. This scanner rocks.

Silverfast is amazing software for scanning. Especially B&W. I used it with my film scanner. Great pics BHA.
