proper slide film showings, with a proper projector

Staites rooftops

The great debate about whether slide film is really worth all that messing about with mounts and how difficult it is to expose it correctly, and where to get it developed* rumbles on and on. The plans a few of us had to make a proper old fashioned slide show evening, complete with bits of cheese and pineapple on sticks, somewhat a la Abigail’s Party, is only dependent on setting a date that we can all make.
If you’d like in on an afternoon of slide-shows, without computers of any kind, please make yourself known by commenting or similar.

Meanwhile, it snowed properly and with gusto today. One inch at 7am had mostly melted by teatime, apart from some architectural shapes on rooftops and on the magnificent mounds and ziggurats at Dalton Park. Just marking the day, the negs will go for dev tomorrow.

* vouchers from 7 day shop for E6 or Spectrum any minilab for C41 work rather well for me.

    i like slide shows - and i’ve got a proper projector. had one round sams back in november - no cheese and pineapple though - only some really strange fondue.

    There’s absolutely nothing like seeing your neg through light, 6 feet high on a wall. Magnificent feeling.

    Did he put booze in it? Oh yes, that’s what fondue is, no? White wine and cheese, oh dear.
