I measured how high up on the glass the slide needed to be and put a small wooden strip across the glass to put the slide upon. A Leitz slide projector at the other end of the MDFboard was my light source. Behind the box I put a milky white plastic cover from our basement lamps as a diffuser. I used a square tool to draw 90 degree lines across the MDFboard to be able to fasten the box in parallel to the wooden fixtures I use to place my camera correctly. Next I took a piece of spare MDF-board and placed the camera at one end focusing almost as close as possible with my macro 100 mm to be able to measure the distance to where the box should be positioned. I put the glass from the frame into the box fixating it with wooden pegs and a wooden strip across the glass. (Yes I know, IвЂ™m impulsive when inspiration strikesвЂ¦) I then went into the workshop and quickly nailed together a box from a board of tree. I ran down into the basement, took an A4 photo frame and stole the glass from it. I needed to make sure that the slide and the camera was placed horizontally and vertically correct and in parallel to each other.ДЈ.

Then it hit me! I had a full sensor 21 Mpixel camera and a 100mm macro f2,8 that shot 1:1 magnification, surely I must be able to use that! IВ realizedВ that some things would be very important to make this work:ДЎ. The Canon 5D MkII and itвЂ™s lenses had been untouched for nearly four months and I started to debate with myself whether or not to sell it all off. Inspiration crept back again until one weekend when I realised that I had shot all through the summer with only my OM-D. Instead I enjoyed taking photos with my spanking new OM-D and had a blast with it. In disgust I just stopped looking through the slides for several months. I was so very disappointed and my plan for a book seemed to vanish into thin air. ItвЂ™s my father on a vacation 1965 on Sicilian. Also, the picture got very pale colors and a really bad contrast. Meaning that it was the dirty glass in the slides frame that got sharp, making all the dust appear вЂњperfectlyвЂќ. It turned out that the scanner could not focus above the surface of the scanners glass. Not only did each slide take about nine (!) minutes to scan, the actual focus was off as well. I scanned in maximum resolution to TIFF and was really disappointed with the result. Also there seemed to be small droplets of moisture or rather, fat, on the inside of the glass. The positives were mounted in glass frames and somehow there was a lot of dust between the glass and the film itself. I installed the software, brought out the oldest magazine with slides and started scanning.

He graciously let me borrow it to scan the slides. Obviously I needed to scan the pictures, but how? As it would happen a friend of mine recently had bought a Canon 9000F flatbed-scanner planning to do much the same thing as me. And before I knew it I had two big boxes of slides delivered to my basement.ДЄn idea began to form in my mind that I should do a book on my parents as a gift to them and my siblings. In truth it was his wife who triggered the question since she had found out that he already had dumped two paperbags worth of slides in a container.

Recently I was asked by my father if I was interested in having his slides from when I was young since he never watched them and was thinking about throwing them out. The other way to scan positive slides, or, why I kept my big SLR.
