Wow just beautiful.... My family is from Naples, my grandfather's name was Pasquale Gallo he came over on the boat to NY ...I have a life dream of someday seeing Italy....So thank you vry much for saharing I enjoyed your shots....

I hope you get to fulfill your dream. I loved my time in Naples; the other big cities such as Rome, Florence, Venice, etc., were so tourist-oriented, they were less interesting to me. In Naples, I got to know several families, visited in their homes, etc. Such nice people.

Very nice set, it looks so beautiful there, I was so close, I could see Naples from the Amalfi Coast!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very nice! Would you please provide some info about your scanner and your scanning process? I'm considering doing something similar, so I'm looking for recommendations. I've heard it can be very tedious to get good scans.

Monti, Naples is beautiful, but also home to the Mafia. South along the Amalfi coast is also beautiful

Dave, I have a Canon Canoscan 5600F model; there is a later version available. To scan slides or film, they furnish an insert that goes under the lid and locks in place on top of the glass. This insert opens up to receive six slides or one film strip. Remove the white cover attached to the inside of lid to expose the scanner lights, select what you're scanning, it does a prescan, and then a final scan. You then select how and where you want to save them, and complete the process.

These are some fun images. You ought to do some PP on them, turning them into some real beauties.

For example, the one titled: Bagnoli Pass from Roman days. Also, the Galleria.

Your image titled: Castle d'ova with US battleship, is miss named. That is not a US battleship, not even close. Freighter, cargo ship, possible older tanker; however, it is not any sort of US Navy man of war, of the line.

Thanks for the extra info. I've looked a little at the Canoscan 9000F and the Epson V500 as reasonably priced options. Seems like anything better is much more expensive. I have read that getting the film focused correctly can be a pain, but it sounds like you didn't run into much trouble.

Mooseeyes: thanks for setting me right, can tell I was AF. The 6th Fleet Commander (Adm Briscoe) was the AFSOUTH Commander (dual hat) when I was there, and Navy warships and A/C carriers came in regularly. I just assumed it was some kind of warship; they anchored about 5 miles off shore.

CSI Dave: I tried an Epson several years ago, they were very difficult to use at that time. This Canon automatically focuses off the slide or film; you get what you captured.
