Thought I would see what I could do with nearly 60 year old colour slides of photos I took back then. Had a look to see about buying a gadget the goes on the end of a lens, but didn't have one the right lens mm size
So what about making my own then, more as a laugh than a serious efforts.
How to hold the slide was the first problem, then I hit on the idea of using a clothes peg . Yep that held but what to hold the clothes peg with?( blunted the ends off so they were flat)
Idea use a plastic pipe clip another problem solved, just needed to nail it to a block of wood. Solved.
So below is the setup
from left to right
white sheet of A4 paper as a light reflector from a CN-160 led light
Then further back the rig I made up holding the 35mm slide photo and frame
Next the camcorder on a tripod with the small screen facing sideways so i could check for focus etc
So as not to disturb used the wireless remote trigger/receiver to take the shot
and finally the edited result on the computer monitor
What a waste of time the photos were too far gone to do anything with
