A panoramic view of Tap Mun.
This picture was taken on a 13 x 17 mm size 110 BW negative on Kodak Verichrome Pan film,
copied to a regular 35mm frame on Agfa Scala direct positive BW film and scanned onto a .PCD
photo file.
I am very impressed with the 110 system,
it is a working fun and entertainment photo system.

in the 1990's .

A 1974 panoramic view of the University Station, and the Chung Chi College from the newly completed
New Asia College campus.
This picture was selected from the last roll of Kodacolor-X ( process C-22 ) I had ever used.
To my surprise, most of the C-22 negatives show no noticable colour changes after 30 years in storage.
