When your logged in, you see on the bottom right of the picture four icons, the most left one is the "share icon", click that one. It opens a share window. Choose a size (I usually choose XLarge), click the link and do Ctrl-C if you want to use the normal photo link and the icon here or first click the BBCode tab click the link and do Ctrl-C and just paste the link into your post.

Mamiya 7 - Kodak e100vs

That's exactly the kind of colors I'll miss about E100VS - have 4 rolls left - need a project
 
Excellent MF slides, thanks Taemo

I use 35mm myself - but it's really good to see what you accomplished
(and yes I know I am viewing it on a PC screen) - as some of our colleagues have already mentioned it must be really something to see them properly projected as originally intended.

But in any case - great work, and well done

^find it comical that most (including myself) dislike highly saturated pictures like that from digital cameras but love it on film.

I find it interesting ... to me the look is different and in most cases I prefer one over the other. I admit to not caring much for Velvia, though your shots in MF are really nice. Well done.

HI,

When they changed from old to new smugmug I had problems then I realised that the system worked if I was logged in when I clicked on the share, or whatever it is, icon.

Thank you both, I will try that next time!
 
In case anyone is interested, I'm completely convinced.

I got a great deal on a few packs of Velvia + Provia, so I'm all set for my holidays.

Now...those 6x6 projectors look tempting... 🙂

Good.

Have you discovered B&W slides yet? You'll need to process them yourself but they can be stunning.

Hi David - I can imagine B&W slides would be fantastic. I read a PDF about reversal processing on the Ilford web site (http://www.ilfordphoto.com/applications/page.asp?n=90). Is this the process you are referring to?

I develop all my films and prints at home, so I'd be tempted to give it a go at some point, although it does look quite complex. If you include the washes, it's a twelve stage process!...which is exactly my kind of thing 🙂
 
Slides are so horse & buggy . The only advantage is to use your slide projector.

Buy a good digital projector, or put files on a thumb drive and plug it into the back of a decent TV set. I go where they just use an old Canon P&S & 27" TV. Images look better than slides at that size. I can only imagine what a good digital camera would do.

If you were viewing them with your eyes shut I'm sure they would look better.
 
unfortunately for me I can't get any of the E-6 Developing kit anymore (I use to buy it from Germany) as it's now prohibited to be shipped by air 🙁

Otherwise, I would've shot my Provia 400X as I have around total of more than 150 Roll Left (35mm and 120)

Obviously everything depends on your own taste, but personally I think digital photos displayed on televisions look hideous. And yes, I mean the huge brand-new 'Ultra HD' ones, or whatever they're called.

I've sat through a few 'slideshows' on TV's and they make me feel like tearing my eyeballs out after a couple of minutes. Yuk.
