Notes on hiking, film photography and small home projects.

Recent notes

Autumn light on 35mm

Finished a roll of Portra 400 on a short forest loop. The low sun this time of year is forgiving; most frames needed no correction at all.

Rebuilding the balcony shelf

Replaced the old particle board with pine and two steel brackets. Took one afternoon and survived the first heavy rain.

A two-day ridge walk

Around 38 km with one night in a tent. Lesson learned again: pack the warm layer even when the forecast says otherwise.

Scanning negatives at home

A cheap light pad and an old macro lens give results good enough for sharing. Dust is still the main enemy.
