Tom, I am scanning from 35mm negatives (well, actually, it appears that my grandfather had a camera which used 35mm film but fit two exposures into the space where other cameras fit one. . . in other words, the long side of each image is 35mm rather than the short side, so each image has only half the resolution that you'd expect from a 35mm negative). From what I've seen, film scanners that can handle formats larger than 35mm cost over $1,000. There are often attachments you can buy for flatbed scanners to allow you to scan film, but I kind of doubt that these handle anything bigger than 35mm since they seem to be aimed at the casual user rather than the photo enthusiast. Alternatively, I'm sure there are services that will scan your negatives for you, for a fee.
I don't know exactly where this picture was taken, but from its context on the role of film, I'd guess Britain somewhere, circa 1968. Hmmm. . . if I had the high resolution version of the image handy I'd check what the label on the bottle says to see if that gives any clues. |
