@cvvhrn Beautiful. I got St Mark’s Square at night in August 2005 with my early Nikon DSLR. Never thought of a canal photo like yours.
-
@PenguinToot @cvvhrn Well, that big courtyard is kind of like a canal for human foot traffic...

@dancingtreefrog @PenguinToot Well it is Venice so traffic is being generous. I would go with stagnant pond lol

@cvvhrn @dancingtreefrog Oh my. In August 1986 the square was relatively empty (taken with Nikon FM2 and Kodacolor Gold 100), it was still the Cold War and East Europeans were not traveling in the west. Very different in 2005, and a madhouse now I’m sure

@cvvhrn @PenguinToot Oh, those are cool!
My father passed away 12 years ago. There are five boxes of slides, negatives and prints in their garage. I expect I'll be viewing and digitizing for years to come!

@dancingtreefrog @PenguinToot OMG I feel you pain. Dad had about 200K in slides. He was an avid photographer and in the 70's we literally spanned the globe. We lived in the then Yugoslavia in a town called Skopje (now Northern Macedonia) but traveled half the time.
I had a canoscan 9950F and it took about 30 minutes to scan 16 slides I think. It took years but I am glad I did it.
Still have dads cameras and use them from time to time

Nice collection!My dad was an OM-1 guy. After he passed away, we gave his camera and lens collection to a friend of his.
I haven't decided if I'll go the scanner route, or use a light table and negative holder to shoot with my Sony A7R IVA full-frame digital (60Mpix per frame).
But I have an Epson scanner on my shopping list just in case!

@dancingtreefrog @PenguinToot Cool! Most of the slides which he did not really store properly were starting to deteriorate so in my case 60mp may have highlighted the imperfections lol
The big advantage to the flatbed scanner was the ability to batch it and walk away do other stuff and come back. That is part of why it took so long. I was lucky as he was a civil engineer so every carousel was fully documented which helped for the slide before my time in figuring out what they were for
For the Movies I used a service and that also worked out well for both the Super 8 and the other formats he used later
Nice camera body BTW

@cvvhrn @dancingtreefrog Wow, what history. Wife & I loved photography, had Nikon SLR’s & shot Kodachrome/Kodacolor for many years, now old & using Canon scanner to digitize our 40-year-old photos. Wife & I lived 5 years in Switzerland 1980’s, drove everywhere in Europe. Wife’s family originally from northern Yugoslavia ruled by Austria-Hungary so we made several trips there. Was only East European country that allowed travel in & out, beautiful to visit. From Pula south of Trieste in Aug 1986:
