Since April 20 is the two-year anniversary of my trip to England, I thought I'd better finish getting the photos scanned and posted on my photo page. This will definitely be the last vacation where I use the old Manual SLR. I love my Canon AE-1, but I do not like the scanning and fiddling. If I'd had a brain in my head, I would have had the photo lab save them onto a CD, but I left my brains at home that day. Such is life.
I don't take vacation snaps so much as I do photo montages, so be warned. There are a great many pictures in my albums (and I'm only two-thirds of the way done), but they do include everything through Tintagel:

If you would like to read about the stories behind these pictures, these are the relevant blog entries:

The Other High Point

The Wyrd Woman of Chysauster
A Really Good Day

If you'd druther not, here are a couple of panoramas:

This is a view of the 13th c. castle ruins on the mainland, seen from the Tintagel Castle island.

And this is a view of the modern village of Tintagel, also seen from the island.

Date: 2006-02-16 09:29 am (UTC)Unfortunately it'll be quite a while for me -- I'm not even sure I'll be able to get to Worldcopn in L.A., much less make it across the pond to Europe. :-(
Have you considered hanging those pictures in your living room or something? If there was a way you could rig the framing, that'd look pretty awesome.

I may just take it to a photo lab and see what they can do for me. And of course it depends on how much they are. I've made several of these panoramas for this trip, so I've got to decide which ones to do, too. But I think they'd be cool.
