I recently came across several circular trays of 35 mm slides I shot in my earlier years of railfanning & model railroading /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blush.gif (back before I started shooting video!
). I know I have LOTS of interesting shots in these; stuff like the American Freedom Train's visit to Providence RI (powered by ex-Reading 4-8-4 2101!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/w00t.gif), my own first "serious" model railroad (a half-room-sized N-scale layout
- back when I still had eyesight /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blink.gif capable of working on N-scale!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/laugh.gif), friend's layouts, a railfan trip on the old Naragansett Pier RR (an 8-mile shortline off the present-day Amtrak (former NH RR main) NE corridor - the old NPRR right-of-way is now a bike trail/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/crying.gif), & other interesting "stuff"!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/wow.gif
What I'd like to do is get these transferred to digital somehow; I'm wondering wether to use a photo service such as maybe the local CVS?
- I know they have a film-to-Photo CD transfer service, but I'm not sure if they'd be able to transfer the slides directly or if they'd need the negatives (which I doubt /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/unsure.gif I have any longer)? OR should I take a "do-it-myself" approach? (I still have my old slide projector, but am NOT sure if it's still operational/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/ermm.gif). I have access to a 5-megapixel digital camera (a Christmas gift to my girlfriend/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/kiss.gif a few years ago - I have "borrowing rights"!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/tongue2.gif), but I wonder if there'd be a better method of transferring the slides than shooting off a movie screen? Any sugggestions would be appreciated!
