Mother

Yashica Minister III - Kodak Ektachrome - Epson V600

 

View On Black

 

I don't think this photo is especially interesting besides the fact that this woman is my mother smiling about 40 years ago, a couple of years before I was born.

 

The reason I uploaded it, is because I scanned it with my new 6400dpi EPSON Perfection V600 Photo scanner from a very old and in bad shape 35mm Kodak Ektachrome slide I never seen before.

 

I think the result is amazing considering the age of the slide and the fact that this scanner costs $250 new. As far as I can tell this scanner is better (when used properly) than much more expensive scanners, including industrial scanners like Noritsu or Fuji, scanners I've been using to process my pictures in commercial labs.
