On the threshold of my 38th anniversary I upload some selection of mine childhood shots. Recently I made a big rescan on Nikon Coolscan-V all my family slide archive in maximum resolution. So I want to share some results. These slides were taken by my dear Papa circa 1976-1987 with Zenit-E camera, Helios-44 2/58mm. on famous and the best from accessible on the Soviet market slide films - glorious GDR Orwochrome UT 18. So please enjoy these warm, yellowish family masterpieces from non-existent country USSR
Once upon a time we've drove to hitch-hiking to Alupka in Vorontcov Palace. It's been a sun spring day. I load in my Zorki 10, (russian automatic camera from 70-s) Kodak Color 200 film, overdue in 2006.
When we arrive to Alupka, we met our friend Alexey from Moscow, and gone walking in Vorontcov Garden situated under walls of Vorontcov Palace.
Vorontcov Palace - is one of the oldest and largest royal palaces in all of Crimea. It's a great work of Edward Blore, Scottish architect.
The basis of the architectural design of the palace was the idea of the alchemical marriage between East and West: half of the palace looks like a European castle, another part looks like a Orient palace.
Winston Churchill in book "Triumph and Tragedy: The Second World War" write about this place: "The setting of our abode was impressive ... Behind the villa, half Gothic and half Moorish in style, rose the mountains, covered in snow, culminating in the highest peak in the Crimea. Before us lay the dark expanse of the Black Sea, severe, but still agreeable and warm even at this time of the year. Carved white lions guarded the entrance to the house, and beyond the courtyard lay a fine park with sub-tropical plants and cypresses."
Never really used the normal x-pro film as much as I wanted. actually this is my first try.
Really like some of the results.
For less of the same, I also have a Facebook page:

A) 1/2 These two are the same picture but scanned of different settings, what do you prefer?
20mm lens, external viewfinder and 720nm filter. The stuff is a bit over, but I still like it. Shot as 400 with the filter applied, developed as 400 in 1+50 R09 (Rodinal).
Provia is still turning out very green with me. Fun day with fun people. :D I had to finish the film so I took the camera to the shower and washing machine, nevermind...

I read about this effect many years ago, but never actually tried it until today: smear Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around the outside of a skylight filter on the front of your lens, leaving a clear circle in the middle, to get a sharp centre and soft-focus outer edge to your shots. I used a 28-210mm Vivitar zoom lens on my Nikon body, and prefer how the effect works on the wider shots than the zoomed-in ones... although I'm pretty happy with them all, actually :-)
For my first swap with @aguillem, he thought it would be cool to have the first layer be "pixels". I the results are very cool, although I wish the pixel layer would have been able to come through more clearly on some of these.
Thanks again @aguillem for this wonderful swap.
