cutting up my photo negs…

After thinking I was done with all the scanning, I was not.  When I sat down to start reviewing the scans today, I found some huge streaks in some of the images.  It was nothing on the image itself but the film touching the glass base of the scanner.  I tried to fix it but it is not happening.  So I came up with an idea.  I have a bunch of old Pakon plastic slide mounts for the E6 I used to develop by hand.  So I’m cutting the C41 negs and putting them into slide mounts to try and flatten them out to scan them clean.

So far it looks to be working.  Just set me back by another day. 

On a good note, I heard back from the client today about the 19 hours of footage I sent them.  They will have it all reviewed by next week and let me know which shots they want.  Hoping to sell them at least 45 minutes of video…
