Re: Digital Slide scanners

It would be nice to come up with something for medium format that doesn't cost a terrible amount of money. Right now I'm thinking that a light table and a slab of anti-newtonian glass would be best. On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Bill wrote: > On 4/9/2017 1:56 PM,

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

I still have three scanners, LS8000 for roll film, V700 for generating contact sheets, rough scans and 4x5+. For 35mm film stocks I use a dedicated 35mm scanner which is optimised for the task, it's a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, it's the bee's knees, that said any scanning is a PITA.

Re: PESO: Bald Eagle?

Yes, I was fooled by my fast and dirty way of identifying birds. I did a google image search for bald eagle underside view, and a picture of a turkey vulture came up, along with several legitimate eagles. I should have noticed that the head had to be small to be hidden in that view. But all

Re: PESO: Bald Eagle?

A bald eagle's wings would have all black feathers; white on the head & tail, but not on the wings. The white tail feathers would be spread out more. I think others have already identified it as a turkey vulture. On 4/8/2017 17:18, Paul Stenquist wrote: I saw some kind of Raptor circling

It’s a great shot. Love those flowers. My interest began with my California Poppy experiment of 2008. A friend in Santa Barbara sent me some seeds, and I succeeded in growing them in Michigan, but the blooms didn’t manage to reseed themselves. I suspect any seeds that did fall to the ground
