I have two more rolls of the Cat Labs 100 and once they're done, it's onto Fujicolor 200. The Cat Labs colors are great, it stays flat, making it easy to scan but it's a really thin film. I don't plan on using a lot of color film, just enough for a bit of a change. The Fujicolor 200 was just a bit over $6.30 a roll and processing is seven dollars. Not a huge outlay and I get scannable negatives for about the price of a roll of Portra.

There it is, Huss. A glass of Kavalan Malt Whiskey and a scallion nougat cookie to end a meal.
Years ago one midnight in August I paddled my canoe out to the middle of a remote lake in New Hampshire to watch the Perseid meteor shower. I had a bottle of Drambuie and a bag of Oreos with me, and it turned out to be a perfect combination of the sublime and the ridiculous, although the sugar high kept me up all night. Scallion nougat cookies might have been better.

“Honey, do we have any of those scallion nougat cookies left?”
I picked up a copy of Smart Convert to help with converting colour negatives. I am not a Lightroom user so Negative Lab Pro is not a straightforward option for me, and even Smart Convert does not fit into my (admittedly primitive) workflow at the moment, but Smart Convert it is for the time being. I'm using it more so as a reference to teach me how to do manual editing, taking the output from it's conversions as a better reference for when I'm trying to convert by hand/eye.
Here are a couple of shots from the same initial roll of portra 400 that went through my M-A., at the Rietberg Museum in Zürich. Carnival (mardi gras) is called Fastnacht in Germanic Switzerland. This exhibit showed some of the characteristic styles of mask worn during the festivities here. Mildly terrifying.
