Dual 8 were these 25-foot rolls of double-perf 16mm film which were run through a camera twice, then at the lab sliced lengthwise and splice to make one 50-foot reel of single-perf film. Egads, and we put up with that?

Plus my parents even older slides, which is where most of the childhood photos of me and my brother can be found. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and at some point I want to try and move some of the 40-something year old 8mm movies to DVD. <BR/><BR/>ok, y'all, quit laughing. Despite me, my brother and his wife all being techie/geeky types, the parental units are of the low-tech variety. I mean, Daddy hit the really big 90 last week. <BR/><BR/>OK, have defrosted enough to type, so I guess I'll have to get to work. Hot'lanta not so hot this morning, temps in the teens and windchills around ZERO, if you're lucky. <BR/><BR/>WendyB_09WendyB_09https://www.blogger.com/profile/03788918629240949526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-38707840691027547942009-02-04T05:57:00.000-06:002009-02-04T05:57:00.000-06:00Thanks Janiece, I still have the dandelion gone to...Thanks Janiece, I still have the dandelion gone to seed look, it works.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661514236449813095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-49249122595497931012009-02-03T21:36:00.000-06:002009-02-03T21:36:00.000-06:00Great photos - and the fuzzy hair is hilarious.Tha...Great photos - and the fuzzy hair is hilarious.<BR/><BR/>That's the same type of project I'm in the midst of right now - scanning some 1,000-ish slides (we sorted out 3,000 to discard), restoring and fixing, and then moving on to a couple thousand photos. Any ideas on how to effectively scan a glossy photo printed on linen weave photo paper? Grrr.<BR/><BR/>We are using an HP 4800 scanner with a multi-slide tray insert, very handy for slide work, although it doesn't give me quite as much illumination on dark slides as I'd like.<BR/><BR/>I have help, though, the geeky 16-year old had a year of college level digital media and has even more photoshop/lightbox experience than I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-50841651131898114292009-02-03T18:24:00.000-06:002009-02-03T18:24:00.000-06:00MWT, no.

But I'm thinking it takes a helluva lot more work to make a degraded picture look new than it does to take a new picture and degrade it. The effort shows, too: like I said, nice work.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-81389588740103260372009-02-03T16:22:00.000-06:002009-02-03T16:22:00.000-06:00Awwwwwww!Awwwwwww!Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-75285639073110336432009-02-03T15:55:00.000-06:002009-02-03T15:55:00.000-06:00No, adorable is exactly the word.
