| I don't have images of members of all of our armed services so I'm going to let these U.S. Navy sailors represent all of our service men and women. From a 1986 parade in Portsmouth Virginia. Kodachrome 64 copied with a Nikon Z7 and Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 G micro lens. |
Thankfulness and gratitude by every American can't begin to repay the dedication and sacrifice made by those who have served in the various branches of the United States Military. But it is a good start.
Let us all be thankful we have men and women who voluntarily choose (and chose) to serve our country and those who, when called, didn't flee but also served with honor and distinction.
I am forever in your debt.
Thanks for looking. Enjoy!

Very nice image. Could you tell more about your reproduction process? The way you photographed and the software you used?
ReplyDeletewolters, thank you for your question. Last June I wrote several posts detailing my slide copying project. Here is the first post:

If you then type in “slide copying” in the little search block at the top right of my blog, it will bring up all of the relevant posts on this subject. They were posted Part I, Part II, etc. if you read them in order, they will answer your question. I think I have probably provided more detail than you want to know about how I copy slides.
If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can even email me privately. My email address can be found through my website.
Thank you for the information. It's very helpful. I see you use an adapter in front of your lens. I shoot Mico Four Thirds and probably need a step up ring. I need to copy thousands of slides in different formats. I have an Epson V750 PRO flatbed scanner, but the process is so slow that it will take years.
DeleteI have some more questions that I wil send by email.
I have the same scanner and agree the process is much to slow. Additionally, I was never quite happy with my 35mm scanning results. For medium format and 4” x 5” film, I was pleased with the quality. Using the Nikon adapter and the process I developed through some experimentation, I was able to copy 36 slides in just a few minutes. Also, by positioning my light table, camera and chair as I did, I never became fatigued sitting there for a few hours at a time. Fatigue, to me, was an issue I felt important to solve.
