Spring is here and life goes on.
I have fallen behind with posting, but I continue to shoot film. Finding the time to develop was difficult, and then the faithful Epson v700 began acting up.
I don’t really know what was wrong with the scanner. I performed all of the usual troubleshooting steps to no avail. I updated software, cleaned the glass, rebooted everything, and even tried a different computer. I tried both VueScan and the Epson software. The results were consistently garbage. Then they weren’t.
In the interest of striking while the iron is hot, I’m calling this Week 13. These were shot with my Chinon CM7, a perennial favorite, with a 28mm lens. The film is Eastman Double X 5222 souped in Ilfosol 3 for 6:00. Feel the grain. . .
To see the rest of the roll, check out my post at Notes from Mosquito Hill.

Oh dear, I don’t know what I would do if my scanner packed it in. It would change everything about my film shooting.

I know. I was planning how to save for a new one when it miraculously came back. Wish I knew why.

Ooh, I don’t like the sound of that. I have a v700 too, erratic behaviour is worse than just being dead, though I guess it might give some time to get a replacement fund in place.

I had moved it prior to the failure. Hoping I jiggled something & the multiple reboots reset it.
