I guess I've always been different. I pick #4. "He knows I'm here -- and taking his pix".
Media studies at the University level. Who'd a thought it --- couldn't do that 50+ years ago. E sports with a hand held 35mm sized video camera. (we shot news film -- WWII Bell and Howells and Auricon.) Then 3/4 inch tape "portable" cameras. It's come a long ways. Still fun and yes the tools are easier and more efficient -- but you still need a "good" story.
Nice set up. Nice tie. Congrats on 38 years. We jobbed out most of the audio work to a studio and did the production and the slide work. Started Radio/TV/Film in high school. Went to Denver University for Mass Communications. Stayed in Denver. Enjoyed almost every minute of my photo/film/TV work environment. Creating something from nothing is fun.
Double M -- that's the name from the past. Slide dupes, mostly, with a pin registered 400 foot (Stan) Maron Carrell camera. Nice rig -- did a nice job. Saw the Pakon mounter the other day, too. Cardboard mounter (Byers) long gone. Sometimes multiple projectors with sound and dissolves (imagine that). Oh, and thanks for posting how to do digital copies with a digital camera. Good stuff.
Some where around here with my 400' slide dupe camera I (might still) have the MM (what was their name?) micro adjustable slide holder. That's a blast from the past! I saw the "upside down" color head the other day.
Take a look at Burkphoto download. Great ideas for your digital camera/copy set up. Look at Chroma Pro and other color head/copy set ups. Yes, digitizing slides and negs and then correcting in software is usually fun and sometimes interesting. I see your point on something to do that's interesting in doors.
With a real nice (read $$) Noritsu Commercial scanner -- whatever the market will bear on price. Digital camera = labor intensive and no auto adjustment. Take a look at some larger commercial labs and you will have your answer.
Just love the two pics. Love the cars also.
I'm a bit short on cash for the purchase -- anyone got a spare 2 Mil they can part with.
Really like the way the first car stretches out into the border. Great cars -- great pics.
Thx for posting -- you really made my day.
Very Nice. I like what you seen to like. Great color. (even the dog's collars.)
My comment. Look at J Toolman and precision colors.
Flower = Just Great! Beautiful.
Trying to place the small "extra" addition in the pix of the back of the house?
Add on of Indoor "facilities"? (I guess that -- because -- well, you know -- improvement from outdoor facilities)
Just Gorgeous! It's a almost a desert but it is real pretty.
Since there is discussion on 4x6 prints and print prices here occasionally and since MPix is mentioned here often --
I received an email on half off of 4x6 prints today. I receive info on "sale" pricing from MPix and Bay Photo and others -- probably because I use them regularly. FYI.
Good scanner. Would produce very good scans. Very nice offer. Would need to check software -- second computer/etc.
VueScan, Photo Shop, Topaz and other AI programs. Usually depends on how "good" (or bad) the original is. There are a couple of sites online that do "automatic" AI restorations. I've had fair results. How much $$ and/or effort you want to put in to each one will make a difference in your wallet and the final product.
