With Michael Eleftheriades
How to Digitise Film Using Your DSLR or Mirrorless Camera
Wednesday, 14th April 2021
Online Webinar
Time: 10.00 am to 1.00 pm BST (GMT +1)
Duration: 3 hours
Please note that this event will take place as an online webinar.
Nikon Owner London Group coordinator Michael Eleftheriades is pleased to invite you to a repeat of this popular new course.
Do you have large numbers of slides and negatives that you would like to digitise?
Were you always put off by the cost and the time it takes to scan them using a conventional scanner?
Do you already own a Nikon DSLR or Mirrorless camera and a macro lens?
Would you be interested in post-processing them quickly and efficiently?
If you answered yes to any of the above, this is the seminar for you! The aim of this event is to show you how you can digitise your slides, and black & white or colour negatives using your own digital camera more quickly, more efficiently and with quality similar to a high-end scanner.
The ‘How To’ series of events aims to tackle those very important but usually neglected subjects for photographers in a fun and interactive way. Taking place in a classroom format using state-of-the-art web meeting software, attendees are encouraged to take an active part and to ask questions about their issues and any problems.
Attendees will receive a copy of the presentation as a PDF, containing useful notes, diagrams and charts of everything shown during the seminar.
In addition, attendees will receive an online link to the video recording of the presentation so they can watch in their own time.
The webinar will include the following:
- What makes a good scan
- What is tonality and dynamic range
- Resolution & Image Size explained
- Nikon Optical Scanner comparison
- Removing dust and lint from the film
- Using the Nikon ES-1 and ES-2 film digitising adapters
- Making your own digitising rig
- Nikon Repro-copy stands vs. using a tripod
- Using the Essential Film Holder
- Light panel recommendations
- Post-processing slides, b&w negatives and colour negatives in Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop
