an alternate to slide photography
« on: April 29, 2018, 10:25:12 »
Despite all the drawbacks I preferred slide photography to either b&w or colour prints. Now a large tv has taken the place of the roll up screen and projector, but I still have fond memories of opening the package hopeful I'd find a gem or two.

However, digital tools allow me to fit any digitized image into an equally digitized 'slide frame', and I find it surprisingly satisfying. And it is dead simple to create wide panoramas that no Kodak Carousel would ever accept.

Btw, all the images and the slide frames shot using my D200 or Df.

Lorne, this is a fantastic idea!  All the images look fitting to the concept.  The frames are extremely well made.

Thank you for sharing!

+1 to what Fons & Akira have said.

Agree - a lovely set.  My Agfa slides sadly have not withstood the ravages of time nearly as well as my Kodak slides (both Kodachrome and the other Kodak slide emulsions).
