Diana Mini, Kodak Gold 200

I’ve been scanning! Boy it takes ages, and I’ve been a bit lazy on the dust protection duty… So satisfying to have my pictures scanned properly though - this is from Diana Mini, the lab insists on cutting the “pairs” apart so it’s not worth paying them to scan for me.

My scanner is here! Happy birthday to me… Now I just have to learn how to drive it…

^{(If you are wondering, I got the Epson v500, after reading many positive things on Flickr)}

The city is so exhaustingly claustrophobic sometimes, there’s so much noise and it’s impossible to get away from other people.

This picture is a double exposure from someplace I’m going to go and hide for a few days this summer. The plan is to swim, take pictures and forget about the internet for awhile.

As a side note, this picture is cropped but not by choice, it’s just the only scan I have. Any recommendations for backlit scanners that won’t break the bank? I have a pile of negatives to scan, some fancy scanning masks, but am missing the key ingredient.

Diana Mini comes in pink! Lomography.com are now selling Diana Mini en Rose, pity the full size Diana hasn’t been pinked too…

My local photo lab is driving me crazy, but I just can’t beat the convenience. Posting film to Wellington just takes so long! I’ll have to scan this roll in myself, but I loved this photo instantly so couldn’t help posting it.

Taken in Birkenhead while wandering round the neighbourhood waiting for a NZFF film at the Bridgeway.

Diana Mini comes in white! I love it, but think I might be able to leave my credit card in my wallet this time.

I’ve got some more film back, so exciting. Dare I say the pictures are looking better already (this image is from roll #4, shot 3rd July).

Anyone interested in seeing pretty much everything that goes through my Diana Mini should spy on my Lomography page. Of course, the picks of the bunch go into a Diana Mini Flickr set.
