I hate Valentine's Day. Stupid commercialised crap

Actually while we're on the topic, a friend has a shedload of old films that never got developed for a variety of reasons, and has no idea what's on them, or if any of them are any good. Does anyone know of a cheap way of finding out? I thought of getting contact sheets made up, but have no idea where this can be done.

Just go to any normal respectable looking camera/developing shop and ask them to develop the film without prints, you could ask for a contact sheet to be made from them if looking at the negatives is a bit tiresome. If they can do this with slides, I am sure it must be possible with ordinary negs as they need to be produce before the prints of course.
Hippychick - cool sized camera, reminds me of my Pendrive 256Mb MP3 Player thats the same size as a lighter.

Would you be shocked if I put on something more comfortable ?

cute or what?
I have this one too!!
I've got a fab Cannon Eos 300 SLR with lenses and filters and stuff, but I wanted something pocket size as a point and shoot. I've only had it a month or two but I've been having lots of fun with it so far.

I've had particularly good luck with Ofoto for prints from digital originals. Upload your pics and pay them a few and they'll return rather nice prints (silver halide, I think).

Had a little go with the Canon, now it's charged up. Only test shots at the moment, but the difference (from the old Kodak) is quite stunning. Just making the sky the right colour blue instead of washed out white is a major step forward.
Hope this example isn't too big (er, 90k - ouch), but it's a piccy posting thread so who cares:
Might even try and learn how to take proper photos now I can't blame the tools any more.

Getting even more jealous now - all the photos you guys have posted have been really good and I can't post a single one of mine. (NTS: Must get ADSL sorted this weekend) I took a few last night, just after sunset around the empty streets of Norwich, a couple came out really well, maybe they'll get posted on Misc's dedicated site if that comes to fruition. Looks like it'll be a nice sunset tonight too. Maybe I'll get the tripod out and do a timelapse. Anyone else tried this? There are probably better ways to do it, but I just put all the jpgs (allready resized) into an animated gif, it tends to be quite large (3Mb) but the effect is quite good.

I have about 4 digitals (from one that plugs into my phone to the Nikon D100) plus a Nikon F601 that is officially mine seeing that my mate still has not paid for it, plus I hope to get a Bronnie soon...
Though I think Misc beats you after his find at the weekend....
Its a consuming passion
