1985 Ann Chaikin

Silhouette
by Ann Chaikin

Center of Australia

This is from a slide I took in Australia in 1985. I used my Sony 707 to copy the slide using a special tube designed for that purpose. So it is a slide/digital photo. :) The man in the eucalyptus tree is my brother Stephen.

Dee... wish I could tell you more but I used a thingy (official photographic term) that my brother bought in a thrift shop. It consists of a tube with a slide holder at one end and an adapter at the other that screws into the filter threads on your lens. Since my brother did not have a camera that fit it when he bought it he gave it to me to use. Now he does, so he took it back (sadly). I used it with flash aiming at a white wall to illuminate the slides. Except for soft focus on the edges it worked pretty well. BTW, the brother with the device is not the brother in the pic. ;) Ann

Wow, very dramatic Ann! Tell us more about the way you copied your slide. I only have 3000 slides to sort and digitize! --Dee
