I am still a little worried about the film.
Maybe go with a Digital Camera if it within your budget??? Cheap one's with decent quality are available. That way you can take TONS of pix.

I am back.

I have 35 rolls of film. I developed 25 in Germany, and 10 in the US, they all turned out wonderfully. I am glad I had my SLR camera, they take such better quality pictures in my opinion, if you want to argue, dont post it here.

I visited many things. I hope to scan all my pictures and put them on a website.

Things of interest to you guys.
VW phaeton factory in dresden, Germany (saxony)
RUF Automobile, Pfaffenhausen, Germany (bavaria)
AMG Affalterbach, Germany (baden-wuttenburg)
Mercedes Museum Stuttgart, Germany (baden-wuttenburg)
Porsche Museum Stuttgart, Germany (baden-wuttenburg)

Oh, I saw two CL65s, SL73, G55 cabriolet, etc. very impressive.

Look for pictures coming soon.

Just a tip . . . whenever you develop film, ask for the photo CD at the same time, it's much more convenient than scanning.

Austin

Please burn CD-ROMs/a DVD-ROM of all your Mercedes and Porsche pictures and send them/it to me;
I will post all of your images on my website, on dedicated pages.

My one request is this: - that you please name ALL of your images, WITHOUT spaces or punctuation
(examples: factoryfloor1.jpg, AMGSL65.jpg, AMGG55.jpg, 930S.jpg etc.)

Assuming your rolls were 36 exposures each, and that they all turned out well, having 1200+
pictures properly named will save DAYS (of my extremely limited, free time)!

Please e-mail me for my shipping address (my office): nemo@nemonis.net

Thank you,

I tried out Sam's club photo processing going from 35mm film to the CD, and I think the quality sucks.

Anyone use a better place to get near digital camera quality CDs made.

OK Scott, I will do that when I start doing that. I just have to figure out about going from negatives to CD first, or I have to scan all my pictures...

I will need to buy a scanner, recommendations?

Austin,

Will you be scanning 35mm SLR negatives or slides?

Scott, thanks. I will look into it. I am sure I will have all my pictures organized and scanned within a month. I hope that is fine with you, then I will send you CDs with the pictures of the car stuff.
