Lucky man

There are some excellent shots there.

#6 is particularly good.

Just a shame about the haze.

What sort of boat were you on :

Photographing moving boats from a moving boat is tricky.

Very impressive and definitely shows that it is worth having a decent scanner.

It also demonstrates that it is worth being very selective about what you scan, unless you have a lot of time on your hands

In the dim distant past, this discussion area was originally set up so that members, at the start of a competition, could ask questions of the judge about what it was he / she was expecting, as well as being a general discussion area, once entries had started to come in.

I have slides dating back to 1963 (taken by my Father) and they are still much the same as when they were taken. However commercially purchased slides of the same era and later have all turned various shades of magenta

Concept design is just so easy.

The really hard part is turning the concept into any form of reality.

..............Another question which way up should the slide be for best results?
With my scanner it is emulsion side down (glossy side up).

LED lights can be at any colour temperature.

I also use a Plustek scanner with Silverfast 8 software.

The software has a special setting for Kodachrome slides to automatically remove the strong blue cast.

The software is very sophisticated and you can make numerous tweaks before the final, multi pass scans are done.

Scanning is not particularly quick, whcih is not a problem for me as I am only planning to digitise selected slides.

You could just push the end date out by a week, which might mean a few more entries than has become the norm recently.
