I finally added
the scanned images from our trip to Antarctis, going from Buenos Aires
via the Falklands (or Malvinas) over South Georgia to the Antarctic
Peninsula and returning to Ushuaia. The series caused me enough
problems.
First the Leica defaulted at high speed, giving me uneven exposed
frames. This showed up at 1/1000 and believe me, you end up quickly at
1/1000 and 1/16 when shooting in the snow and full sun.
Then I managed to get dust and deposits on the films during development.
Afterwards, the Coolscan didn't like the Fuji film, and I was left with
a batch of very grainy images. It took a lot of Photoshopping to get
halfway decent images, and here they are.
I haven't found a way to get decent scans from my 120-films, so you
won't see them for the moment.

I finally made the transition. Took a long time, but now it has
happened.
My interest in Carnivorous Plants has gone down. My collection is
limited to maybe 30 plants,
all highland nepenthes.
I sold off my TC-lab and I no longer propagate.
My orchid collection is nice,
but again I stopped propagation.
I still have two greenhouses and that
will stay that way.
I do more and more Photography, re-installed my darkroom and expanded
my equipment.
This now reflects on the site: you will find pictures.
I keep the
travel reports
from my carnivorous days on the site, I still think they are of
interest.
Of course the bikes stay!
What still has to change is the entry-page, this is no longer my
Carnivorous Corner, I'll come up with something.
