DAY 7

About four years ago, I heard of the train ride from Oslo to Bergen for the first time and I was curious to take that train ever since. This summer, me and a friend finally went to Oslo to go on that trip. It’s quite fascinating to see how much the landscape outside changes over the course of a single train ride. 
One thing about the color in these images: on this trip, we were taking a flight back from Bergen to Frankfurt and it was the first time for me to take exposed rolls of film through airport security. The best thing to do would be, apparently, to have your films in a zip lock bag in your carry on luggage. Then you could ask for a hand check and avoid having your films scanned altogether. Or they might be scanned, but the radiation from the scanners in this area isn’t all that strong, apparently. If you leave films in your checked luggage (the suitcase that goes in the cargo bay of the airplane) however, the scanners in this checking procedure are a lot stronger than the ones for carry on luggage. The whole radiation topic didn’t bother me at all before going on this flight and so I left six films with many precious memories in my suitcase, which then were scanned by the heavier scanners and the results are very muddy and grainy images, almost as if the films had been expired for 20 or 30 years. The images towards the end of the roll often look pretty good, almost normal. Everything from image 1 to 30 is, however, usually pretty muddy and grainy, with varying intensity. The good thing is: I actually like the effect. For some images, I wish I could see what the normal image would have looked like, but for the most part, I’m pretty happy with how the damaged images have turned out. I guess i’ll avoid the heavier scanners next time, however. Or maybe just leave one or two rolls in the checked luggage, for research purposes.
