I have been trying to immunise myself by repeated exposure!
I will have to tally up the number of, er, vaccinations I have had recently, but there are a number still on the way

Nikkor-N Auto 24mm f/2.8 on Z6II
Have been thinking I need a booster shot myself, but need to release a few of the not often used lenses first... I always say that
Could it be because in their culture that the fish head is so prized that they wrap it? The cheeks and eyes would be protected this way - kind of like those individually wrapped pears.

Ah cantonese-style salted fish, well depending on the fish, the heads are not removed. Gutted and cleaned, dry brined then hung up. Remnant liquid flows out from the opening and mouth - may be why it's wrapped up and as Buddy mentioned, prevents flies from entering.
The fishing village closest to my hometown normally splits the fish in half but they're often larger fish. The really large ones, say a big threadfin, are often cut into fillets instead.
Held her in my arms last night as she passed away. Was a rather sudden and rapid deterioration, preliminary diagnosis was acute pneumonia. The vet performed CPR twice but I waved her off for the third, felt gut-wrenching to see her intubated and with vigorous chest compressions.
Goodbye my faithful companion. Goodbye Oolong Cha.

I think you get 12 free conversions after downloading the trial so nothing to lose.
I’ve tried everything over the years from inverting the neg and adjusting the RGB levels manually ... to Nikon Scan 4 ... to Vuescan and Silverfast and through to the clunky (but very good) ColorPerfect ... NegativeLabPro IMO is by far the best. Very well supported as well by a big community and an owner/programmer who shoots a lot of film himself. He actively engages with users and delivers on what features everyone’s after with free updates coming quite regularly. Can’t rate this software highly enough. It makes shooting film even more fun and enjoyable.
First I want to give my condoloences to those who have lost loved ones lately, Rafael, Peter, Chin, so sad to hear. So far I´ve been able to witness friends of friends who have passed in covid. My county was pretty "mild" affected first wave. Second wave, as of now the hospitals are more or less full and it keeps getting worse. Let´s hope vaccination will push down the rates and let´s hope 2021 will be a lot better!
I´ve been shooting a little here and there. Mostly been out taking trips with my car on the countryside. Went on a family trip renting a cabin on the country during the holidays. I got a few shots to go through...
Here´s a few of the first shots from the new year.
D800 and 50-135mm f/3.5 ais WWoods by Kristian Hagelin, on Flickr
D800 and 50/1.4 ais @1.4 (Took a few shots here with lower aperture as well, perhaps I´ll upload one of those later too but I think it worked out quite well fully open) Tree bnw by Kristian Hagelin, on Flickr
Kristian, excellent series, love the "tree bnw" shot. As much as I love the 50-135 (and will likely never give mine up), I think "Bonsai Pine" would be great with an even larger aperture lens. Glad to hear you and your family got to get away to the countryside.

Thanks for the feedback Ray. Yes, well I need to get out on a proper photo session soon (with tripod and some patience....) lately I´ve mostly been practising the "spray and pray" principle
We are very happy to be able to be to leave the city for some country getaways from time to time.

So sorry to hear you ad to let her go. I know th efeeling, have been there a few times in my life, but the bond of friendship is stronger then the pain of loss, and thus I find myself in the company of one (or more) dogs in most of the phases of my life.

Arg! My edits didn’t save. I love the shot, but I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is so hard. My last pet, my cat Molly, was 21 when she died. I was so devastated that I still cannot even entertain the idea of another pet.
