Finally got my #FolderWeek photos scanned and uploaded to C1Pro. This is the other end of the small row of thatched cottages from my post earlier today

Abbey Fields in light snow. Sometimes you can sledge here, right in the centre of town! Good reason to settle...

Another #FolderWeek post: two more thatched cottages. The second has just been re-thatched; if you look closely just above the upstairs window, you might see that there are at least 3 different layers of thatch here! I love the fluid shapes that thatched roofs can have, but they must be seriously expensive to maintain!

Waterbirds among the frosted reeds. The swans help to keep small areas of water clear of ice; this is the first time I've seen them [EDIT: keep the water clear] this far up among the reeds.

Timbers. These are exposed frames of a "half-timbered" house on Castle Green; they date from the 16th to 17th century! The brick panels are later additions; they would originally have been "wattle and daub", ie mud.

I found a long-expired roll of Konica VX 200 Super colour film from a past Secret Santa, and decided to rate it at EI 50 and try some Intentional Camera Movement (#ICM). TBH it didn't really work out well, but maybe a few are worth showing. Crackley Wood...

This one is #ICM but looks more like a double exposure. Also from Crackley Wood.

Last one from this roll. Some times with #ICM the colours just go really weird on you, no idea where all this pink came from!

I missed this roll of #Kodak200 from my #OlympusMju2. It's always in my jacket pocket, and when I'm out with black & white film and colour is called for, out it comes. I'm getting slightly better results now I remember to turn off flash in lower light frames! This roll was devved by Darkroom UK and scanned by me with Vuescan Pro; colours turned out better than I'd expected. I did scan a couple to RAW for inversion in @darktable but I've not tried that yet.

Following a suggestion from @tomnorthfilm here's another icy Abbey Lake image in a panorama crop!

(Note, neither the title nor description I'd added to the IPTC metadata in C1Pro made it through to the Alt Text, as I had hoped after seeing a comment from someone else.)

Ah yes, it was @kaiser_photo who reported his metadata came through to Alt Text from NLP (Negative Lab Pro?) in https://photog.social/@kaiser_photo/114631693391207624

@carusb Yep! Negative Lab Pro. The plugin allows you to export photos with the film metadata concatenated into the caption field, I sought it out to be able to have film data on my private web albums. Was surprised to see my Mastodon app (Mona) picked it up.

@kaiser_photo Very interesting, thanks. I think it must be Mona that's pre-filling the #AltText for you. I use the Masto web app, no such luck.

BTW I couldn't find a caption field in the IPTC metadata fields shown by C1Pro, but I'd assumed it's either the Title or the Description field. Neither showed up for me! (PS, this page https://www.negativelabpro.com/guide/film-metadata/#why-add-film-metadata suggests that NLP adds its own metadata in parallel, which is good for some EXIF but pointless for IPTC, AFAICS!)

@carusb Aha, that makes sense. My Piwigo setup pulls the EXIF caption field.
@kaiser_photo @carusb The state of IPTC and EXIF support and display across apps is so frustrating, especially as it comes to digital scanning! I was trying to curate a system that would work for me for my website and just haven't gotten my head around it because I get frustrated each time I start ๐Ÿ˜‚
I want to maintain proper alt text, but title, caption, and description are used interchangeably by so many different applications. Sorry for my unsolicited rant!
@shom @carusb Donโ€™t be, youโ€™re 100% right!
