Ha-ha! An innocent gesture, but funny.

I have no tips for scanning silk film, I'm afraid. My scanner did OK with it, but I did nothing special other than scan as I normally do.

^ Well, I must recognize that I use a pretty bad scanner. The type of equipment that does everything, but nothing properly... According to what I saw at recent flea markets, its current market value must be somewhere, under zero... So it gives awful scans in general. Some just don't show. But on this one... it was just horrible. So the picture I finally uploaded is a 2-minutes-at-setting-lights-for- standard reproduction with a decent digital camera. Much better than the scan. But adding some 'noise'. And no matter what I did, I found the result ugly on my screen. Let's hope that the neg, left aside somewhere for clearing this winter (with lovely cold tap water), will be kinder to me... Thanks for your help !
