I'm just very happy there's still a dedicated analog development & printing service in Cologne!) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– About the scans: All the photos were scanned from the negatives using my digital Fuji X-E4 camera and Olympus OM Zuiko 50/3.5 macro lens. So they're scanned at 26 MP resolution. Whenever it says ".... zoomed in" you're watching a 100% crop from these 26 MP scans, provided you're using a 4k screen. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Score: Road Trip – Slynk Swans in Flight – Asher Fulero (Available via YouTube Audio Library)
