Are they digital or film scans?

 

Stupid question!-Scans from AGFA Precisa ISO100 slide film. The bottom pic is from this year, the others are older by about 15 years! The same for posting #27.

There are no stupid questions, just answers that put people off asking again.

 

This bugger and some of his friends have popped up overnight next to the car park at work:

Some sort of fungus by Steve Higgins, on Flickr
