#HOW TO MAKE PHOTO FRAME HOLDER MANUAL#

My early experiments on exposure aimed to produce a pure white, just over-exposed file when no slide is in the opening.

#HOW TO MAKE PHOTO FRAME HOLDER MANUAL#

With the flash underneath the rig, I have no issues with having to shield the lens from the flash, and with a manual flash setting, my trigger is a very simple one as well. As you can see, I can sit this on a glass topped table and so I’m investigating simply laying the card at 45 degrees on the top of this piece of wood above and simply have the flash under the glass table. Here is a 100% view from a section of a 20Mpixel scan from the Wolverine followed by one from the device I am about to describe:ģ5mm negative holder in the film copying rigįor lighting, I decided that the easiest approach was to have a white card (a bit of mount from a picture frame) at 45 degrees with a flashgun and remote trigger laying on the floor under the table. Ok, I guess I could work with that, but the quality of the scans was pretty poor. The plastic mounts were just too big for the slide holder and so each one had to be inserted on its own – no pushing slide after slide through the machine. I think I used Ektachrome and the film was returned in strips that you had to mount. First, I have quite a number of plastic mounts for my slides. I know there are overseas companies that take boxes of slides and films and return them with digital scans, but I always thought I could do it myself with a bit of effort – and perhaps do a better job! So when I saw the Amazon prime sale of a Wolverine Titan scanner with a 20Mpixel capability for only $100, I thought my prayers had been answered!īut – when it arrived, it was disappointment time. But apart from that, I kept it in my mind that I should do something. Then I sold it and more or less got about the same money, so it wasn’t that expensive an exercise. I scanned perhaps 200 of my slides, but it was a hit and miss which ones I picked. About 7 or 8 years ago, I bought a Nikon 35mm film scanner – very expensive at around $500 and pretty slow (although extremely good) at scanning the film.
