When I scanned, then brought the images into Lightroom, there was some 
variability in exposure. But most scenes were underexposed by about 2 stops. 
(And it isn’t about the scanning process - you can tell by looking at the 
slides that they are too dense. Shoulda’ used a Pentax!) I may have overdone 
the added exposure on the waterfalls - I was trying to bring up the lush green 
vegetation to the point where it didn’t come across as a dark mass.

I will do a little bit of this. Unfortunately I did not look at the slides 
before the trip and thus don’t have more than a couple of shots then-and-now. 
In general, the city still looks much the same. Different cars and buses on the 
streets, a couple of areas spruced up to handle higher volumes of tourists. In 
the countryside and around the Iguazu Falls area, major difference I saw was 
the existence of paved streets and roads. And walkways today to take viewers 
close to the falls in lieu of the wooden rowboats we used before.

I (and my first wife) and my parents show up in a few frames. That is indeed a 
younger me in the last frame. One additional background note - these were shot 
with my first ever SLR, a Nikkormat I had received for Christmas 7 months 
earlier. I had two lenses: a 50mm (probably f/2.0) and a 105mm. I haven’t been 
able to extract the EXIF from the slides to determine which lenses were used 
for which shot

Thanks Ann. And BTW, I do have a few NYC shots from the same era - we went 
there to visit friends earlier that summer. I’ll scan a couple of those next 
time I pull the scanner out.
