Scanning 35mm slides

For the past week or so, I have been spending most of my evenings scanning my 35mm slides. The quality of the pictures is much better than what I have ever been able to get with a digital camera. I am using a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 scanner, for which I had to set up the dreaded Windows on a PC which I am not allowing anywhere near a network. The scanner has an adapter for multiple slides, so I can scan 30-60 slides at a time depending on the thickness of the mounts. Paper mounts are problematic though, and as a lot of my pictures are on Kodachrome, this means I have to be there to untangle messes. But it is going well, I should be finished by my 98th birthday, hopefully sooner.

Since I will not be doing much other posting for a while, I will try to post 1-2 of the pictures every day for the time being. All my pictures are Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike licensed.
