Anyway, enough slide scanning. Here is a cool shot I cropped out of a print I took from my Oslo stuff. This was one of my first trips to “Europe” (well, Scandanavia….) and I thought “Wow! A statue of flying frogman!”. I suppose it’s actually called an “installation”, but I’m not that sophisticated.

Here is the sunrise shot I tried earlier with a slide viewer attached to my digital camera. Finally, by scanning a 5×7 print made from the slide I came up with an image that approaches the slide itself. Yes, it would be easier with a purely digital camera, donations to the Doug Digital Camera Fund gratefully accepted!

Rejection!

Sunsets can be dreadful things to convert from slide to digital. My scanner isn’t exactly the best rig for scanning slides, but it does ok. A saturated shot of a sunset with low light takes some major goosing to look remotely presentable.
This shot was taken from a lookoff near my mum’s house, Dublin Shore, Nova Scotia.

Well, from Vienna to Oslo, Norway. Here is a monument I took from a number of angles. This shot I always liked best, perhap’s because of the way the clouds complement the feeling of cold mystery!

After a look at the spiritual side of Vienna, let’s check out the more secular. A row of colourful billboards along a cobblestone street.

Here is that last door from the hallway. These shots were taken at Kremsmunster monastery in Austria. A very interesting place to take pictures, and ironically learn a lot about the history of science.

I keep coming across doors, windows, openings whenever I look through my slides. There is a very metaphorical side to “portals”. Am I trying to go somewhere? Is a door just a door?
