Photo Retrospectives

Still on the topic of Flickr, you may have noticed a bunch of old photos starting to appear in my photostream. I’ve been scanning the original prints from my point-and-shoot film camera days (1996-2002) and uploading them to retrospective photosets. There’s a lot of duplicate material which gets only low-res treatment in the old photos section, which now I’m happy to be able to show full size in its original state, without all the tedious and amateurish image “enhancement” I used to apply to each and every photo. This also gives me the chance to show off long-forgotten pictures which predate my photolog.

Sailing to Fortune Island

I think this is from an April 2001 dive trip at Fortune Island. The passage from Cavite to Fortune is usually pretty rough, but it was really nice that day. I also had an artsy grainy B/W version of this shot.

    Is the vignetting in the original, or did you add that in post?

    It really gives the shot a lot of character.

    The picture is uploaded as it was scanned from the print; I think that camera (Canon Prima BF800) vignetted everything.
