http://saveaussiemusic.org/ , so I wrote this up:
I have quite a bunch of slides myself. And I was wondering how the
slide scanners stack up against photographing a projected slide. Dark
room, high quality screen, camera on a tripod, manual white balance,
exposure bracketing. This should give decent results with a good SLR.
Unfortunately I don't have my slides accessible right now.
Of course a dedicated scanner might offer a more streamlined workflow.
Then again with a wire remote there are only two buttons to press per
slide, camera and projector advance. The post processing could be
pretty much automated (the static subject should make assembly of
bracketed exposures trivial.
The upside would be a probably much better reproduction of the slides'
dynamic range.
Any experiences here?
