I think you mean you shot 120 film on your hasselblad. I can tell you from direct experience I have used and Epson 600 flat Bed and VueScan software to get excellent scans from 120 Negatives B&W and Color as well as Transparencies
There is a learning curve to get the best scans, and you can use higher end scanners, or send them out to be scanned


Yep, I also have a 120 holder for my Epson 600. In fact I have just about every size holder from 110 to 4x5 and 8x10(part of a set I bought, I have never had an 8x10 camera).

I do have a 35mm film scanner that takes slides fed one at a time or 35mm filmstrips/rolls that auto advance.

I'll never understand it. Do they find them cute? Funny? Devoted? Loving? People who have dogs are delusional. I certainly don't see the appeal, but this little guy lives in my house so he's fair game for photo sessions.


This little guy is mainly for affection and fun. But many people keep big dogs to discourage door-to-door salespeople or the neighborhood wildlife.

My wife, way back when I met her in the early 70's had a German Shepherd named George, he had flunked out of guard/police dog school because he was too friendly and non-aggressive. But he had a sense of humor and was protective of Debra and all small children.

Once a salesman came to the door and George did his usual jump to the back of the coach by the door to look out. Most who came to the door knew George did that and talked to him, which made him very happy. But one day when I was there, a pushy sales person opened the screen door just as my mother-in-law opened the inner door. George looked around the door (head about 5-6' up) and barked. The reaction was very entertaining.

The first time I hugged Debra in front of George when we were dating he pushed in between our legs and gave me a "You didn't ask permission first." look. Debra talked to him and then hugged me. After that it was OK, but he would come over and wait for his turn at hugs. When our first born was about a year and his cousin was 3 months older, George appointed himself the guardian of Michael and Jennifer. Anyone scold them, even when George saw them getting into trouble and he would come over sit down between the adults and the toddler(s) with a "You should be ashamed to scold the cute little kid(s)" look.

And when Debra's sister's husband gave her a pedigreed St Bernard puppy named Chris he got raised with George as his role model. When Chris was grown (top 10% in size for a St Bernard) he pretty much thought he was a very friendly German Shepherd. Michael and Jennifer used to use him for a bean bag to take naps in the yard. Now close your eyes and imagine a LARGE St Bernard reacting to taggers in the ally behind the garage WOOF!!! and the first time the trash guy (who was a family friend) came in the gate to get the cans when my Father-in-Law forgot to put them in the alley for pickup. Chris had seen the man talking with Louie when he was still a puppy but the man didn't expect Chris to be at the In-laws house and had not seen him since he was grown. Here came a furry Volkswagen bounding toward him going WOOF WOOF, the guy almost had a heart attack and then almost got licked to death by said Chris trying to get pets and hugs.

When something went on in the alley while Chris was visiting George didn't even bother to wake up from his naps. He left it to the mountain that barked.

The highly publicized Trump trial.

What crime did Trump commit?



.


He decided to go for round two with Biden now that Biden has a record (as opposed to promises) to run against.
And even worse, he seems to have a lead in the polls.

Both are pretty much capital offenses to the ultra left and most of the media.

They are very good little cameras. But they have the same problem as other view screens in bright sunlight = hard to see the subject for framing and focus. I even have the problem with my Canon RP and R7, I wear glasses so light gets into the viewfinder and washes out the image. Using the back screen is even worse in bright light.
They should work great in dim light or at night outside.

For bright days I either use one of my EF bodies or put on contacts and even then a little light leaks, so I have ordered a rubber eye cup for the viewfinders of my two R bodies.

They make a viewfinder that fits over the back screen of the fp or fp L, Sigma's is $699, I think there are one or two third party versions for less but I never bothered to do a deep search. Since I went with the Canon RP/R7. That wasn't a hard choice for me since I am a Canon user mostly now, my only Sigma body I have left is an SD10 with 3 lenses I keep around as a backup or loaner to family members.

I shoot my Hasselblad occasionally with B&W 110 film. I develop the film myself and want to scan it for post processing high quality JPEG images. Most of the film scanners I was able to find online are limited to 35mm film. The only film scanner for 110 film I was able to get information on is the Kodak 7" Digital Film Scanner. Ratings for ease of use are very high, and quality ratings are mixed. However, the ratings are mixed because they seem to conflate scanner quality with editing features. I don't care about the scanner's editing features because I will use my post-processing software to convert the negatives to positives and then edit them. Any comments on the Kodak film scanners from UHH participants that have used it? Alternatively, does anyone have specific experience with other scanners you would recommend? Thanks to all!

I have a couple of holders for 110 that fit a flatbed scanner. And I have a photo quality flatbed. It seldom gets used for anything but photos or negatives. Documents just go through the all-in-one print/scan/fax units auto feed.

The locals must have gotten a taste for turtle soup.


The bigger ponds had large Koi also and a few years ago the people in the business park and homes along the nearly 1 mile of the River Walk were always calling the cops because homeless and migrants from areas of Latin America were they eat wild meat were catching the turtles and Koi and roasting them over fires in the park at night.

An underrated bird!


No, highly rated by wild game cooks. I have a wild game cook book and an American Indian cook book that have recipes for wild goose.

My family favored wild goose for Christmas and thanks to my Dad and his turkey hunting buddies wild turkey for Thanksgiving. When my Grandparent's (Dad's side) were both alive and the family farm hadn't been sold yet, we also had homemade bacon, sausage and ham plus roast chicken on the menu the also. Homemade rolls, biscuits and cornbread on the side of course.
When the relatives and friends gathered for holidays, we would have 20-40 or more people eating at the farm for at least one meal during the day.
The 4th of July was fish fry day, everyone took turns going fishing for a week or two before to make sure we had lots of fish; bass, blue gill, crappie and catfish done Southern Style, rolled in seasoned corn meal and fried in about an inch of fat/lard from the same hogs that produced the ham, bacon and sausage. And it had to be in a giant cast iron skillet. Grandma had an 18" one and to make it really authentic it was on a welded spider grill made from rebar. It didn't matter if the 4th was at the cabin Granddad owned on the hunting club lake or the farm, the fish and fried potatoes were done over a wood fire with the grill and cast iron skillet.

Yes, those geese just took me on a long drive down memory lane, and it was GREAT!

No, trump absolutely ignored the early warnings he got as early as December of 2019.

By the time trump finally assembled his C***d response team, the "horse had already bolted out of the barn" so to say.

The mistakes trump made in not taking corrective measures after FAILING a disaster recovery exercise in 2018 and dissolving the p******c response team contributed hugely to trump's disastrous C****-** P******c failure.

It's coming out that trump's C****-** response team had their hands tied in what they were able to say publicly, or risk being let go by trump.

Remember that trump didn't want testing done at the beginning of the P******c, just to keep the number of confirmed cases low!

Yada Yada Yada!!!

The US's handling of C***D was the worst, except for all of the other countries in the world.

Only one that survived out of 8 original.


That would explain that "look".

The park were I go to photograph water birds is a nearly one mile long man-made river with waterfalls, rapids, ponds, paths and bridges that was built in a large concrete flood control channel. The over population of turtles got so bad it seemed the banks were lined with them and duckings, goslings and shorebird babies seldom lived to grow up. They thinned out the turtles, so now you only see a very few scattered here and there. On my last trip, I rode my mobility scooter the whole length of the park and didn't see any turtles.

You can't keep ignoring trump's ineptitude at handling the P******c in order to paint him in a favorable light.


As President Trump is not an MD and most especially not a Virologist he was following the advice of the government and other "experts", like F***i and the CDC among others.
They were the ones who didn't quite figure out what to do.

Then there is the nature of the American People. We don't like being told what to do by"experts" or politicians. We don't like to be restricted in our movements and we are probably the most mobile nation on Earth. We are constantly on the move for work, shopping, just for fun and more Americans both numerically and % wise move addresses per year than anyone else. Not only that, but we also like to congregate for meeting, movies, sports etc. etc.
All of which tends to negate the anti-C***D measures if people were following them in the first place. Hell we even had door to door sales people coming around during C***D - we put a sign on our front door stating we would not be answering the door.

As to our large numbers of deaths during C***D, well take all the above and combine it with our nearly 340million (#3 behind China and India) population and our nearly 100% coverage of statistics and it is no wonder our reported deaths were so high.* China I am at least 99% certain did not give accurate numbers just for politics sake and India has many millions of people living in small villages and city slums who seldom interact with the government or report deaths, they just have a family service and bury them. Many people still believe that the dead should just be dropped in one of the sacred rivers so even if the government came by to check on the deaths from C***D there are no graves, just a body that drifted away on the river and was eaten by water life. So their numbers were probably even less accurate than China.

And then there are parts of Africa, parts of Asia & remote areas of So America etc. etc. etc. I saw articles of entire villages in Africa being a ghost town, no one to count the dead and when the government checked they just dug trenches with a bulldozer, dropped all the bodies in, burned the buildings to hopefully k**l the v***s and moved on down the road to check the next village. I saw similar things in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, bulldozers and back hoes digging large holes in the cemetery next to our base and then trucks of bodies in piles pulling in and soldiers tossing them in until the hole was full, and a dozer pushed dirt over them then dug the next hole. That happened several times a day for a couple of weeks. So if you tell me it didn't happen in many places during C***D I will call you ignorant if I am in a nice mood and a liar if I am in a bad mood.

*Remember all the reports that many places deliberately over counted C***D deaths for benefits and aid? Someone comes into the ER/Trauma Center/Morgue dead from a traffic accident, heart attack etc. etc. and they also had C***D = just put them on the C***d death list. It was a lot less work for the severely over worked medical staffs. Who were already running to another in the endless line of patients or bodies coming in. No string of lab tests to determine the cause of death, no need for an autopsy etc. etc. just put another name on the C***D list. Reportedly that happened in a lot of places around the world. Too over worked to test and make accurate records.

I'm at the airport hotel waiting for my flight back to the states. I've spent the past 30 days visiting New Zealand and Australia, and April 25 was ANZAC Day, possibly the most important national holiday had by both. ANZAC is an acronym for Australian New Zealand Army Corps, and April 15 commemorates the landing of forces at Gallipoli in 1915. A terrible loss for both countries, but the Turks against whom they were fighting so respected their foe that in later years, they built a memorial to them in Turkey! I would liken it to Memorial Day in the U.S., but even more highly observed.

This is a personal thank you to the people of Australia and New Zealand. Not once did I encounter an unfriendly or unhelpful person. I was frequently greeted in passing with a smile and a "G'day." The Maori of New Zealand and the First Nation peoples of Australia were every bit as gracious and welcoming. The two countries have a long-standing bond between them and the USA, and it showed everywhere I went. I was continuously struck by how similar we are, yet how different in so many ways. A terrific trip -- the longest I've taken since I was in college 50 years ago -- and one I highly recommend if you have one in mind.

Since this is a photo thread, and honors the people and the ANZACs, this is from the powerful and compelling exhibition hall at the Te Papa Museum of New Zealand in Auckland. One walks a timeline path of the campaign at Gallipoli, and several larger-than-life statues of real persons are presented. At the last one, near the exit, one can add a red poppy to the statue of the soldier can be laid. The rest of the museum is a hands-on delight, too.

Sony a1, Sony 200-600 @ 600 f6.3, 1/3200 sec. iso 500, manual exposure based on green leaf reading which reflects just about the same amount of light as a gray card, so it's like taking a gray card with you as long as the sun is striking the leaves the same as it striking the subjects.


Nice shot, but only one duckling?
