Excellent shots, Garth. It really does look like another world and
those deep blue skies are gorgeous. My personal favourite is the first
one, which seems to me the most intriguing with the lines of the dunes
leading the eye all the way up to the glimpse of distant hills on the
horizon.
I'm glad the X-ray machine didn't do any damage, but not too surprised,
I have to say. My own experience is that my film has never even
remotely suffered from X-ray exposure, including a roll of Fuji Super HG
1600 which passed through no less than 11 airport scanners including two
in the bag destined for the hold, before finally finding use. The
photos came out without any sign of damage. I seem to recall Susan
Steele mentioning a roll of film getting destroyed by the scanner on a
trip to Hong Kong, but other than that I don't recall anyone else
mentioning problems. Would be interesting to hear what everyone's
experiences have been, what precautions you take and what the
circumstances were if you have had problems.
Cheers,
Roger

must say I'm quite pleased -- doesn't look like the security X-rays at Denver
