They claim it's stopped sinking - time will tell :-)
As for the blown highlights I don't know how they can be avoided in an image
which includes both deep shadow & extremely bright sunlight. If you have any
suggestions I'd be interested.
The film was scanned with a Minolta 5400 II at max resolution using viewscan
so I think the original scans should have included pretty much the film had
recorded. Didn't do a lot of processing, just levels, contrast & crop for
most. Naturally they were all massively downsized for the web.
Point out which you think is the worst example & I'll have another go.

Some very nice images both on the OO page and on your own.
I hope the blown highlights in a few are a scanning problem, not the film.
I wonder if I will get to Venice before it sinks....
