Went to Ireland at the end of November and I feel like I've been editing photos for a year. I think I'm almost done though!

Found this little fella at the back of a cupboard today, so I bought some batteries and a cheap roll of film to see if it is in working order. I haven't used it since 2001 when I had no clue about photography (some would say that's still the case). Will be interesting to see if I can apply what I've learned using it's digital cousins and whether I can produce better pictures with it than I did back then.
I'm sure you have. Of course the trick is finding somewhere decent to develop the film theses days.
I'm just going to use a supermarket to see if the lens and camera are in working order. There's some fungus on the lens so it might be a bit hit and miss.
I'm lucky enough to have a couple of old school camera shops near me that develop film still if it works out. I'm also toying with the idea of getting a kit to do it myself.

Cheers. I seem to recall that it took some nice shots when I used it years ago.
I thought this would be an interesting image to feed into a program I've been working on:
It's a Java program I've been working on. It moves bright pixels to the right and dark ones to the left, so if a photograph is taken in low, single-source light, it might appear 3D during the transitions.
I can post the alpha version if you're interested.
It's so idiot proof, one could even design it!
- Assuming it actually runs, the program will prompt you to select an image after opening it.
- You can click on the top or bottom halves of the image to view different transitions.
- Clicking while the image is transitioning will pause the transition; click again to play
- Pressing 's' while the transition is paused will save a copy of the image with a number at the end of its name in the same location as the original.
