International Snow Sculpture Festival in B&W
Perhaps an old choice for the beginning of Lent................

Like that! One questions for you: Do scan your negatives or make prints and scan those? I have (in the few I have done) scanned 8 X 10 prints because I do not have a decent film scanner and was curious what others are doing in a similar situation. Thanks.
Right now I have been without my own darkroom for a couple of years. So I've been scanning negatives. I have an Epson Perfection V700 Photo Scanner. It is fine for postings here, but I'd use a film scanner if I wanted to make prints.
I've also found that it doesn't scan mounted slides very well, due to differences in the thickness of the mounts. So when I shoot slide film I don't get the slides mounted, and I scan as film strips.
My darkroom is nearing completion, and I do find that I prefer to scan photos because I think the prints look better than the film scans......
Very nice.
