36 of the best

Here are some pics taken with my wife's Rollei TLR. The scans were not very hi-res, but I am not too unhappy with the results (don't you love double negatives?).

I played around with curves in PS.

I accept they aren't particularly good photographs, but it does indicate (compared to the first roll we exposed) that the camera has promise. I also love the square format!

I think I darkened this one too much

By the way, a free smiley to the first person to guess the relevance of the title :lol:

I was gonna say 36 down-bits on the harbour bridge (the bit that hangs from the arch down to the road), but I counted 38...

it's hard to describe those bits.

I think the technical names are, in fact, "down bits".

But, no smiley for you, I'm afraid. :(

Ok, it is the number of square centimetres in the negative (6 x 6 cm medium format).

Gary, I thought you, of all people, would have got that one! :lol:
