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.
