This photographer created a 35mm slide film digitizer using a slide projector.
While the setup and 3D-printing may be a little overly-technical, Lawrence says the system itself is rather straightforward and simple. “you put a tray or stack of slides on top, make sure the camera is pointing at it, in focus, and has its manual exposure set properly , and start the controller. Then just wait 10 minutes, and all 140 slides are captured!”
“If it took too long to do the capture, or any culling was needed before the capture, it just wasn’t going to happen. These slides would disappear if no one did anything, so any amount of capturing of them is better than not doing anything at all. For the most part, these are family trips and vacations. No one else would care to do it, nor would anyone pay to do it…”
Lawrence says he is still working on the post-processing aspect of the setup. He currently has the images placed in a gallery with a small database on the backend where the images are tagged with what group or “slide tray” the images are from and any additional dates or keywords that may be relevant to make them easier to search through. His hope is eventually the software will be able to present albums based on the grouping defined by this database.
