Beautiful images, my family shot nothing but slide film from about the late 1950s through the 1990s. We must have 300-600 slides. Many of the slides are Kodachrome. Also film that was packaged as motion picture film, I think it must have been some kodak product. The colour pop is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you say your slides take you back to a time and a place. I have always thought that, unlike digital images, negatives (and slides) are a true witness, they were actually there, in the camera, at that time, on that date, in that place. It's a very nostalgic feeling when handling a really old negative, it's like handling an antique. Maybe it's just me who is getting old!
It's definitely not just you 🙂 I certainly feel that way and even if I'm an antique I think a lot of people who are still young are starting to understand the magic of it too. Thanks for watching!
I'm photographing the slides as macros with a digital camera...if you want the full story then I've done a few videos about my struggle to revive old negatives and trouble with scanners etc. that you can probably still find on my channel...keywording etc. not my strong suit! 🙂

That's an interesting setup, the results are really good. So you are not actually scanning the slides but re-photographing them?
