Slide scanning
The idea of putting slides into a scanner one by one and peering at them for dust is too tedious to contemplate, so I came up with an idea of photographing a projected image instead (and avoids buying a scanner). This has the benefit of being able to enjoy browsing your slides, and the photo only takes about 1/8 sec (or whatever).
The results are ok rather than brilliant, but I can keep my file size down as it's not worth using your best camera settings. I did use a low contrast setting in the camera because otherwise they came out too extreme and you can't post process.
This is a photo from La Clusaz in 2005, on a day when the ski lift popped up through the cloud to provide a rather nice view.
