a few friends of mine in the studio. I laid all these slides on my flatbed and laid a lightbox on top of them. They scanned pretty well, and this made an awesome print. Let me know what you think, and if anyone knows why I keep getting strange blues and reds in my scanned backgrounds....please let me know.
For interest sake. Saw a great form of wall hanging the other day. was made up of a long hollow box, on half of it wiht a flourescent tube-light in it. This was covered by a long piece of flat metal so you dont see the light. on the other side was a slot where you could insert a sereis of slides in a line. . the inside was painted white so the lights reflects to shine through the slides. Makes a great wall hanging!!!
Very cool! I'll have to try that lightbox thing. The blue tint could be from the lightbox on the scanner if this isn't on the originals. If it is on the originals, it could be a cast from the combo of your lighting and background material, or it could be from the coating on your lens causing glare. I'm pulling at straws on that one.... :) I suppose it's possible though. Did you use a filter? I noticed you're using a 28-300 lens. I used to get those dark corners when I used a cheap (Sunpak--stay away from these!) polarizer, and it was especially noticeable with my 28-105mm lens. Just a thought. Let us know what you figure out about this. I will be interested to know the cause. Great shots, by the way.
