Curious investigator
Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I found courage to “scan” at least a small part of my endless trays of color slides. Scanning with the camera, this time, because my old film scanner has a SCSI interface and cannot be connected to my current PC. So I made a set-up, with camera and macro lens, daylight LED lighting, diffuser screen etc.
The most striking thing to me is the huge increase in image quality that we have witnessed in the last decades. I knew that, of course, but to be confronted again is different somehow. For a pretty long time, I have been reluctant in adopting digital cameras. I preferred the projected slide. While digital cameras were flooding the world, I bought a new, expensive Rollei projector because it made faded transitions with 2 trays in 1 projector possible, with 2 lenses and light paths. Hard to imagine it now.
Two oldies, both from a trip to southern Africa in 2005 (I think). The first image shows my kids in the mirror of the car, during a game drive. The second was made while I was trying to get an image of a sunbird, with a 600mm mirror lens. The bird was too mobile to catch it with the camera on the tripod. While the tripod was unused, a monkey tried to demolish it. So this image was made with the 600mm hand held…
Specific Feedback
No specific feedback, this is just for fun to show that I’m still alive (and not very much going out chasing images, because there are many more slides to go).
