Analogue Film Archiving and Scanning

Finally getting round to organising my analogue archive properly after all my spare transparencies have been gathering dust in numerous cardboard boxes and old lab job bags.

I'm giving them a new home in nice Secol pocket sleeves that will live in Kenro folders and slip cases. I've decided to create digital contact sheets from each page by shooting each sheet on my old light box and even brought my old Nikon D3 out of semi-retirement to do the job. Raw files, 1/40th @ f8 with a base ISO of 200 and processed in CaptureOne. A bit contrasty but easily rectified in C1.

Overall a very therapeutic, long-term project, helped along the way with some weekly scanning of certain images that float my boat. This is Julie Goodyear and Danielle Nicholls from the pantomime, Snow White, circa Y2K.
