Who are you and what have you done with Brian?
Well I haven't ascended or reincarnated yet
How do you know?
cos my wife still says I'm over weight, ugly and smell of elderberries.
Sounds like the message I have on my answerphone - imagine a dry northern intonation: "Leave a message if you want to". An attempt to sort the wheat from the chaff. Does it work? Haven't a clue.Chat here if you want to.
Thought this was a quiet (if sometimes contentious) photo forum, but I've strayed into a live panto!Who are you and what have you done with Brian?
The scan in the contest thread is better than this one, in that here the shadows are blocked and the highlights blown as well. What happened? How do the images here compare with the original transparencies? If I ever scanned Kodachrome, it was a long, long time ago. What was your digitising workflow? I'm a decade older than you, which gives me the authority to ask.This is the shot just before the rainbow, about 30 seconds!

Perhaps a bout of communal sobbing is in order?Oh the shame of it!
I said 'digital' in a film forum
That'll be a PacificImage Electronics scanner, and probably the superior version to the one I think I still have tucked away somewhere. The one I have was sold by Jessops many years ago and could only scan 1 frame at a time, but I bought it secondhand and it was a thing of wonder in its day.Perhaps a bout of communal sobbing is in order?
I wonder what a PIE PF3600PRO is - sounds like the name of a spaceship in a sci-fi novel. All digital stuff is a bit Dan dare, isn't it? Whoops - I said 'digital' in a film forum.
Ouch ouch ouch. Will try to enjoy my time in the wilderness.BANNED!
The 3600pro could scratch and mangle a whole roll of 35mm negs fully automatically and unattended. It did slides one at a time slowly and did not like Kodachrome. I used the Aldi webcam scanner when I wanted to catalogue slides, it took 12 at a time in a feeder. Feed, scan, (rinse and repeat) in about 2 seconds a slide at 5Mp to jpg.That'll be a PacificImage Electronics scanner, and probably the superior version to the one I think I still have tucked away somewhere.

PS Digitise good, digital not so.

I have no memories of your particular place, but nevertheless various elements are familiar and the photo evinces a certain feeling. And you're somewhat right about technicalities - there is no such thing as a perfect image after all. But some images work well regardless (and others not so well).That's the thing with photography; photographs don't have to be sharp, perfectly exposed or technically outstanding to trigger memories; and, just like a river, the memories flow by as you look.
