A Bug's Life

Whee! 145 photos of my 1994 China holiday are scanned. It was trickier doing Grandma's (I went with her and my Mum), as they were stuck slightly askew on oversized card for a presentation to the WI. Lots of twisting and scanner wrangling!

I did all of Grandma's and 50 of mine (more straightforward) yesterday. They came out at around 1-1.4 MB each. Today I scanned the other 40 of mine, same settings, and they're 3-400 KB each. I open similar shots in Photoshop (one from yesterday, one today), they're the same number of pixels. Any idea why this is?

They could still benefit from some level/sharpness tweaking, I never got a good feel for that, and I am limited by an overcast couple of weeks and the camera not being great so the pictures lack sharp focus.

But - done! At last :-) The remaining photo albums are in a stack measuring (in cm) 50x35x30.

To the Green Dragon, and thence to Waterbeach and back and home again, via ducklings and diving birds and anef setting off in a race of boats. 14 miles, and I have lovely sole-of-the-foot blisters.

After that stroll it seems somehow cheeky to ask for sponsorship to walk a 5k Race for Life event, but I do so here nonetheless. The longer Oxfam walk coincided with a dodgy back period, but this event should be feasible. And it's for charidee!
