My walk this morning - nothing too exciting, sorry.

@Richard G I was driving down Punt Road a couple of weekends ago, and the SES had closed off two lanes on the west side near Bridge. Even in the middle lane, the water on the road was about half way up the car's wheels. A shop in Johnson Street was flooded, two young women were laughing at their misfortune as they wrung out towels on the pavement. Just today I was at a gym in a warehouse, and the rain was so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves. Crazy weather.
 
I tried some Pro Image 100 in my M2 with the Zeiss ZM C Biogon 35. I don't like the results so much but I think it is the very indifferent scanning I am getting from the lab lately. Their colours are wrong and they don't even seem sharp. These are adjusted in LR to wb Auto. It's meant to tolerate room temperature well but it's true the film was exposed in the camera awhile, but not the last few images of the roll which also looked terrible. The red of the roses is very very poorly done. I have generally found scans cannot handle red, except when I use the DR Summicron for some reason.

I mentioned I wasn't happy generally with them. I will have to find somewhere else. They moved to a more dangeerous part of Melbourne too. My daughter and I were neaarly killed on the way back last time, in a slow moving column of traffic where some guy chanced his eye, or eyes, both shut maybe, to just not brake and hope he hit no-one crossing the main raod through the heavy traffic. I told my daughter: see, nothing wrong with my reflexes. This time was different, nearly killed on the way there. The pandemic and the phoney war type recession and drugs presumably, are making for some pretty mad drivers. Anyway the magic of film comes through a little, maybe

First my old friend

This one I think I should have not touched the contrast. I could not work out why it looked a bit milky. Think I know...

And this is some guy with a camera heading down to the reserve. He carried nothing but the camera and was not in a camboot for his left ankle.
