This 30 year old slide had deteriorated in storage and the colors were faded. There was a ton of dust on the slide that wouldn't come off. I rescued it by converting to B&W, then cleaning up in NX2. The toning was added in Snapseed. You can see that the crew have dropped the chute way too early and have hauled in the main and jib while still sailing downwind. The spinnaker sheet has been loosened when it should have been pulled in under the boom, and the spinnaker is going into the water. It will cost them
Big Boat Series 1985. PP in NX2 to make the foreground greyish, and to clean up the dust caused by storing the slide for 30 years in a cheap plastic page. If I ever do slides again I will store them in boxes.
I rescanned the Ektachrome using a lightbox and NEX-5T with micro-Nikkor 55. Set for Vivid color. PP in SIlkypix Studio 4 for better more natural colors than previous posting. I shot this from my C&C 3/4T raceboat. No one seemed to mind that I was so close to them. My son steered while I filmed.
This picture is from a 30 year old Ektachrome (1984) which was stored in a three ring binder in a slide page. There is some dirt on it. I copied it using a micro-nikkor 55mm lens on a NEX-5T using a lightbox as a source.
This is a composite which was built in Live Picture 2.6. Alice was in another picture, her moth friend in another. The sky - burnt out in the original picture - was created new in LP.
The white area (sail) and white shirt brings the eye down the frame to focus on the hands. The red splash on the hull lifts the eye to the man in the middle distance. The yellow sail brings the eye back to the yellow in the shirt.
Just a grab shot as he came into the scene. The DV Vario-Summicron on this little 3.3 MP camera produces warm tones from the CMYG filter on the sensor. Some pp to reduce noise in the shadows. On these old cameras hardly any noise reduction was applied at source.
