Some really striking photos on your pages, Chris. I particularly liked
407/07 and 407/23. Despite your claim that the photos don't do the
place justice I am certain they must do - beautiful. I've never been to
Granada but a friend of mine recently went and also was hugely impressed
by the Alhambra. It's certainly on my wishlist.
I recall that a while ago you asked about the sharpness of the photos.
From what I can see they look pretty sharp, though in some cases not
perhaps ultra-sharp. Are they from a film or flatbed scanner? And did
you scan at maximum resolution and resize down, or scan at a lower
resolution?
Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Easyjet. I haven't flown
with them, but have now flown twice with the cheapest of the cheapo
airlines, Ryanair, and I have nothing but praise for them. In fact,
I've got another four trips booked with them in the next two months!
The flights aren't luxurious but I've found them perfectly comfortable
and pleasant for the short flights, and having spent only just over 200
pounds in total, taxes and all, for return flights to Oslo, Salzburg,
Dublin, Stockholm, Alghero and Trieste I find the prices very agreeable!

Well, there is nothing wrong with 4 x 6" prints in my view. They show
the whole picture without having to move back 6 feet and they do not
demand hugely fine grain film to enjoy. But we *can* enlarge our photos
if we wish and I enjoy doing so now, whether in the darkroom or on the
Mac. I have just printed on A3 a photo of the Alhambra Palace (in
Granada, Spain) on my Epson 1290. Although there is some curvature on
the photos (it was a 35/2 pointed upwards to include the new moon), the
overall effect is pleasing. The quality of the lens is such that the
enlargements is good. It is picture no 407/17 at
http://homepage.mac.com/zuiko/PhotoAlbum3.html. The print is on a wall
in my house, but so are a number of 4 x 6 prints in smaller frames.
