Mark 12 was once a school boy ???? Was this before the Wright Brothers ????

EN830,

Yes before the Wrights but after Pontius was a Pilot. 🙂

OK, Mark12, but many flatbeds have negative and slide scanning facilities at not too great a cost – I have a Canoscan 8000F that goes up to 9600 dpi and IIRC it cost me around 400 quid. Since I use it for producing illustrated workshop manuals for Volvo buses among other things, it is easily sufficient for amateur purposes and doesn’t require a separate video board to be installed in the computer. I would recommend it to anyone and it’s a doddle to use. If I wasn’t on the other side of the North Sea I would call round with it under my arm to show you, Auster fan!

Papa Lima,

That’s more like it.

It seemed to me that your “1. Get a flat-bed scanner, they are cheap enough” was suggesting that any old ‘cheapy’ flat bed would scan slides.

There are scanners and there are scanners

Silly question – what do you use to scan your slides? I’ve got loads thast need to be scanned, but don’t know how to do it. Fabulous piccies – any more to make our mouths water?

Don’t let Papa Lima fool you that it that easy. 🙂 That is fine if you just have prints but if you have slides and old negatives of various formats it is a bit more complex and expensive.

I read up on “What digital” about two years ago and purchased the the best recommended for my needs. I bought the Epson Perfection 3200 Photo. It was quite expensive and at the top end of the amateur range. It has various attachments to scan negative formats up to half plate, strips of 35 mm negative and slides. Locally it it will scan small areas of negative/positive at up to 12,000 dpi. Although it is a flat bed it converts to a light source in the lid for negative and slide scanning.

I am delighted with it and amazed that my old negatives with a little help from PSP are producing images vastly superior to the original prints of the time.

There are dedicated slide scanners and these are said to be superior to that which I have described but you will need a flatbed scanner in addition for your prints.

Good luck,

Mark

Easiest thing in the world!
1. Get a flat-bed scanner, they are cheap enough,
2. Read the instructions and scan the pix, saving them on your computer (the one you use to connect to the Forum).
Sorry to seem so rude, but it really is so simple!

Is that the Twilight Zone theme I can hear? 😮

Seriously, thanks for the pictures gentlemen 🙂

Sorted

Now back as Mark12.

Bizarre!

Steve,

I’m interested, but puzzled that your mail notifier came through even though the Forum is still down. :confused:

And some how I have Veltro’s sign in.

Mark

What, nobody interested?

Talking of Yorks. WW500 at Bovingdon in June 1952.

SAS DC-7C and SABENA Metropolitan, I would think.

I’m not 100% sure I know the full designations of these types, apart from the Viscount, but they were on the same strip as the S6a. They were taken from the viewing roof on the Queen’s Building.

If you squint you just might see a couple of Yorks to the left of the Hunting Clan hangar.

Well, I hope it’s a large tin so that we can enjoy such things again in the future.

Thanks for posting Mark,

I’ll second that… 😀

Where do you keep on finding such a treasures?

Mostly negatives in envelopes, with five shillings written in the corner, all in an old biscuit tin – that contains my schoolboy photographic sorties.

Mark 12 -Just goes to show that pictures could be taken before the advent of digital!

Beautifull pics Mark 12.(Where do you keep on finding such a treasures :confused: ) They look like new!

Very nostalgic.
