In this Ask Slashdot Question, like so many others, the question/headline is misleading. It asks about scanning slides, and no matter what type of OS you use, if you use cheap hardware you’re not going to get great results. Still, take a look at the comments for more.

Free Marlyn Monroe 2005 Calendar
Despite the title of this page saying “Calendar 2004” it does look like a 2005 calendar, only someone was a little too quick off the mark with their website editor!
Anyway, the important bit is that Ilford are giving away a Marilyn Monroe Calendar on their site! The only snag? It’s a PDF that you have to print! 🙂
Swans by Light

Flash Bouncer
Nice, this DIY flash bouncer looks great. Something to try later.
Garret's got a 20D!
Garret’s busy with his 20D this week. He’s taking portraits, something I’d like to do more off, luckily, here’s some tutorials to get me started.
He linked to this Carier Bresson article too. To read..
Now, how do I justify spending €2000 on a camera and lens kit to myself? No, seriously – how? 😉
Spider's Web
On a foggy day familiar things looks strange. I love the stark contrast between black and white on days such as these and especially by a body of water the difference is very pronounced!
Mark Hancock's PhotoJournalism
I came across the site PhotoJournalism by Mark Hancock several days ago and this afternoon read a few of his posts. He offers some great advice and writes well on the subject of photography, here’s a few of his recent works:
Trees All Lit Up!
Here’s a more “traditional” picture of the two trees I published yesterday. Some working with the GIMP involved to bring out the sky, but otherwise, a reasonable approximation of a cold night!
Squiggly Trees
What does one do on a freezing cold night? Go out with a tripod and take photos of trees!
I took this photo a week ago during a cold snap in the weather. I assembled my tripod on the corner of the street near my home and set it up for a 20 second exposure. Half way through the shot a man, his son and their dog passed. I *knew* something was going to happen and I was right. The dog’s lead got caught in the legs of the tripod but I had a good grip of it so the camera didn’t go flying out onto the road!
There was some movement and those squiggles across the picture are the result. I like it! 🙂
