Cecilia Temperli's photostream  

Thank you for visiting my photostream
I have to say I am blown away by the quality of the work of my contacts! Thank you for sharing your wonderful photography! If I made you a 'contact' then it is because I enjoy your photostream. (I do not expect this to be reciprocated). However, I try to keep the numbers of my contacts 'low' enough so that I am still able to look at most uploads.

My "Aushtraya" travel photos:
Most of my photos have been made using film cameras and I post for family, friends, fellow travelers and, of course, anybody else who may be interested in looking at my photos. Many shots are therefore just holiday snapshots, record shots and definitely not of 'professional' standard. Sometimes I try to be ‘creative’, but it does not always work for me. The main reason I may list the camera model and the film I used is just for my own records - because I have collected too many cameras and sometimes forget which one I was using. They need to be used frequently, otherwise the mechanism may seize up.

A picture is a picture and I have come to the realization that it does not matter to me whether it was made using a film camera or a digital camera, or whether it has been enhanced or somehow 'fixed' in Photoshop. If it has appeal to me it has appeal to me, that's all. It just so happens that for my own photos I like using film, I like handling prints and, because I am a bit lazy, I leave them as they are, more or less straight out of a box that is called a 'camera'.

Scans:
Some scans are from prints, others are done through a dedicated film scanner. When the print looks better than what I see on the negative I scan the print because the lab technician does a better job than I am able to do.


My most visited/faved shot:

I still like it too! :-)

UEBERSETZUNG:
*****************************************************************

Es freut mich, dass Sie mein Album besuchen.

Durch "flickr" hat sich für mich eine ganz neue Welt geöffnet.
Ich gucke sehr gerne die Fotos von andern "flickr" Mitgliedern an, und dies erlaubt mir ihr Land, wenigstens ‘photographisch’, zu besuchen.


Ich mache die meisten Fotos mit einer mechanischen SLR Kamera, und die Fotos sind hauptsächlich für Familie, Freunde und Mitreisende gedacht. Somit zeigen viele eigentlich nur was zu sehen ist und sind nicht speziell ‘kreativ’. Ein Foto ist ein Foto und es kümmert mich schon lange nicht mehr ob ein Foto mit Film oder Digital Kamera gemacht wurde. Ich persönlich ziehe Film vor, weil ich mich daran gewöhnt bin und weil ich gerne Papierbilder handhabe.

Scans:
Für flickr scannere ich C41 Fotos weil’s einfacher ist. Ab und zu scannere ich ein Negativ, aber es ist mehr zeitaufwendend und die meisten gedruckten Bilder sind gut genug um zu scannern.


Wenn ich Zeit habe werde ich ab und zu die Bemerke zu den Fotos übersetzen.
