Here is one of mine. About 1956, Dallas airport.

Got this in an email today. (Hope this is not out of line with UHH rules...if so ...I am sorry but I thought you all should know)

Is it necessary to de-mount slides to scan them?
Over the years I have tried to scan my mounted slides with various scanners but they all seem to not be able to produce sharp/clear results.

I was on a flight one day recently in a window seat. The person in the aisle seat turned out to be a photographer for National Geo. At one point in the flight he leaned over and asked me if he could take a shot of the clouds through my window. After he took the shot he explained that he often took shots of interesting cloud formations to be used later in other pictures he had taken. He remarked that particular shot, he just took, might even be used up-side-down in some future picture.

Here is my tweak on one of these.

Here are some of mine.

Firelady:
Just playing around with your first pic.
What do you think?

Regarding the first shot (lane in the woods).
I think it would be improved some if the light had not been so high up (Noon). Shooting early or late in the day would provide more dramatic impact to that photo; and show more shadows (dark areas - depth). As shot, its a little 'flat'.
Keep up the good work!

The first one might have been better if the lone seagull had been centered more (not dead center) and it was the only thing on the beach (no person). This would provide more of a 'subject' to the photo. Also, the perspective is too low for my liking.
The other two are spectacular!

Do you have it set for 'Art Dego'?
(I have no idea why it is doing that.)

Good shot!
One step to the right might have been better (IMHO).

Didn't show up at first........then it did.
Good snap!
