Well, hopefully you'll be taking your "sunshine" back with you.  :D  How long are you in town for?

I go back Thursday night and am stuck here in Canary Wharf, which limits my movement given my work schedule. But am more than happy to meet up if anyone has an ocassion to come here.

Thanks, but "pas de chapeau" for 51 (not 61) years of slide conservation. This is the problem: I took this slide out this morning after storage in a "dry box" in Bangkok for 15 years to find that the colors had changes completely to a horrible, strong cyan cast — no way to project this slide. Coincidentally, I had read a posting or article a couple of days ago — I don't recall where — that Kodachrome is not so color fast as it is reputed to be; that heat and humidity can cause strong color changes — and this slide is the proof.

 

I had to neutralize the colors by finding a small area that should be grey among the women's kit. That made a huge difference, pushing the color temp slider all the way to the right. That gave the color to the dry grass that I remember. Actually, I have another scan of this slide that I made some 20 years ago with an Imacon Precision III scanner. This time I digitalized using a Leitz BEOON copying stand with a Focotar 2 lens and an M9-P. The Imacon slide has a bit more resolution (6300ppi), but that is not noticeable, and the new digitalization looks like it has the same dynamic range (the Imacon has a dMax of 4.2 (two stops more than the 3.6 of the current Plustek scanners). Actually, I don't like the current colors of the Imacon scan, but I'm sure I can neutralize them to get the same results as the BEOON scan. Anyway, this latest BEOON digitalization supports my earlier conclusion that the results I'm getting are very close in quality to those of the Imacon scans.

Thanks for this interesting notice.

 

So you must correct . Well in my case , I still have slides in good condtion and in addition

I can project them in big screen with my Pradovit 1500. Color is still fine and no problem at all.

Theses slides are dated 1969, ie 48 years . I have always kept them in the  Leitz baskets.

 

Ah one simple question : do you think you can keep it as long a digital photo with the change

of the computer and software or OS ?

 

Best regards

It becomes world-wide , Mark P is also hit  :D

Thanks Adam

My freind, Blondie- my name for her. She guards chickens, not mine, for a living. She always has to pretend she is warding me off before she saunters over to get her ears scratched. Here she is pretending to growl at me......More of a groan, really. I sneak in whenever I get a chance.

So I am here in cloudy and dreary London. What dumpy weather they are having!

 

Hope this beach scene from Tel Aviv will brighten our day!

"Schmootzified"  or not  Adam , I love these colors soft and peaceful

Yes "brighten or sunny"  is always the good way of life .....mainly for "life is the beach" :D

Thanks

A historic building in Christchurch, NZ. Sadly, it was lost in an earthquake.

Very nice result and a delightful summer photo, Adam. I have just picked up a Cinestill 50 I bought in Stockholm a few weeks ago. I look forward to seeing the results.

I'm often drawn to photos with a strong graphic composition involving only a few elements. This one is particularly nice, Henry.

Thanks Henry. She does occasionally get loose; but she just hangs around. I guess the regular meals are a strong deterrent to the call of Liberty.  

 

Best,
