And yes, that is little ole me in the photos below. So…what did slides did I convert? See for yourself. If the image was in portrait mode, it was easier to capture it sideways (instead of rotating the camera each time) and then rotate it later in Photo Mechanic or Photoshop. It is set up the camera to capture all the slide in the sideways position.this saves you having to reposition the lens before capturing each photo. It is best to have a clip or something to hold the slides in exactly the same position.Do not put the slide too close to your monitor, as the pixels will show up behind the slide image.Here are a couple of things I learned in the process. This worked so well that I ended up going deep into my closet and finding old slides that my father had taken back in the 1950s and 1960s. One by one, I would take a photo and then replace the slide with another one. (Note: you do not need an expensive tripod or camera to do this, but a decent macro lens sure helps.) I set the camera to a 2 second timer mode (so that I would not shake the camera at all), and fired a shot of each slide. I moved the camera so that it was right up to the slide and then manually focused the lens to get a good sharp image. I then mounted my Canon 5D Mark IV camera with the Canon 100mm macro lens on my Gitzo tripod. I set up one of my Joby Gorilla Pods and a Manfrotto clamp to hold the slides. I tried shooting some images of an old slide and quickly realized that I needed a better way to keep everything in focus. I then opened a blank document so that I would have a large white light behind my slides. I turned on my desktop computer and launched Microsoft Word.
