There's a "How we made..." article on Ghostwatch on the Guardian website today. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/oct/26/how-we-made-bbc-mockumentary-ghostwatch

It'll probably be worth the $200m outlay for ITV to buy it just so they can beat BBC One in the Christmas Day ratings.

Beach Dead WWII zombie game. Like in COD but on the Commodore 64.

Some expired Ektachrome 100 EPP that I picked up recently. Lovely colours from this stuff.

No idea what it's about, but it looks interesting.

I've been watching for the last few weeks. Highlight has been Dave Gahan examining how to pronounce Depeche Mode before the band perform See You to a bunch of ten year old kids on ITVs Razzmatazz. Simple Minds playing New Gold Dream live on The Tube was great.

It’s alright everyone...

Mass Effect 2 had one of my all-time favourite gaming moments...

How do you scan yours (scanner model / software etc.)? I've got a couple of scanners - an Epson V550, and a Plustek 8100 - and use Vuescan when scanning E6 film. However, the software gives me different options dependent on the scanner used based on it's capability. I've not scanned any 120 Velvia 100, but found some 120 Provia 400 transparencies to be a complete PITA to scan well using the V550 and Vuescan. So far, the Plustek and Vuescan are giving me pretty good results for 35mm transparencies straight out of the scanner. I think the images I posted above

This is what mine tended to look like. The curves adjustment made a big difference. This is how it scanned: This is after a curves adjustment:

I think you’ve done a great job with those. Velvia 50 has a purple cast to it most of the time anyway - I think it’s just the way it is. Velvia 100 scans with a red cast in the shadows - it’s apparently known as “redvia” in some quarters for this reason. I use a curves adjustment to remove it.

It doesn't matter if it's simple (and I don't think it is), it's a very nice portrait. Well done.

Thanks. Is it worth watching anyway?

I've not watched the festival episode. Is it required before ep 4? Or is there a recap somewhere There's no way I'm going to find time to sit through it all.
