Notes from 20th Apr 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I have received issue of bi-monthly magazine LensWork. I have order this tryout issue based on suggestion from Daniel Staver. Magazine is made on quality paper and in very handy size. Nice to read and look at with cup of tea under a lamp in quiet evening. I have complete issue in less than two hours. Some of the article are interesting some less. That is quite usual. They also publish some interviews with photographers on DVD/CD and extra silver gelatin prints and, as they call it, folios of photographer. These things are order-able extra. It is nice but for Europe quite expensive as subscription fee for two years is almost double of US one. I will probably order first 40 issues on CD and print some articles and read it. Much cheaper, thought less enjoyable for evening reading.

I have shot whole roll of Fuji Neopan 400 today after I didn't to much of shooting for few last weeks. Some shots in early morning strong contrast light. Some fog and springers on fields. Two horses I was writing about few days ago. Than on my way from work I stopped with my daughter on playground and finished a roll there. One thing I realize I need less sensitive film for this light and summer. I will try Fuji Across 100 and Ilford FP4 and will see how things are working with them.
