i’m on a mission to economically digitize my predigital images and it’s quite a process. my photographer was partial to 4×5 transparencies and satin prints, neither of which have i had much luck scanning to get high quality. larger images. so, after a little experimentation, i’ve got a pretty good set up now for sunny days where i just set my digital camera on a tripod, place the transparency on a little frosted glass easel that i made and take a quick photo before the transparency curls from the sun … it’s the best way yet that i’ve found to copy them. i’ve also got a set up for 35mm that works too, but i need to get a new viewer …
