Sunset rainbow


Barely visible hint of green to the left.  This, incidentally, is the explanation for the seldom seen “green flash” at sunset — The spectrum goes from red to blue, but blue is heavily absorbed by the atmosphere, so the blue end only extends to green…

Close crops

Very close crop of a scanned old Kodachrome slide vs a similar size crop of a recent digital photo. I can afford better lenses now, so the digital photo is intrinsically much sharper. But independent of that, I like the effect of the grain in the slide.

Another old slide

(Scanned from a box of old slides)

My daughter has been singing praises of film photography, so I’ve been going through boxes of old slides and negatives and scanning them. This is a slide taken long ago from atop Mt Diablo.
