I have in my collection many thousand slides. many going back nearly 60 years. Scanning them on a film scanner is slow and mostly overkill.

So I have resurrected my old computer, with a monitor from an old PC. Although not used in 10 years, it fired up fine and although slow it is not a problem as the bottleneck is how fast I can change slides.

Just found a box with almost 1000 slides inside. It will take a few days to copy and any that are worth scanning at higher resolution can be put through my film scanner.

iPhone 8

Well its a month since the last post and lots of things have gone on but not much photographically.

Big thing is I have a new phone. So took some pictures on the phone and with the Nikon and here are the results.

All images resized to 1500 pixel across.

iPhone tweaked on phone

Really very impressed. Quality is far better than a pro digital from the turn of the century. and the phone only cost £200 more than my first 160mb CF card!!!!
