This is the HDR version, using five exposures with 0.7EV steps.

HDR works best.
First image is very contrasty.

Wow! A microscope in a stick! Amazing.

The price tag is a tad on the high side...

The slides don't generally have great artistic merit but my father used them to illustrate his talks and lectures on plants and trees.

I would like to try to 'rescue' them so I can enjoy some of them in todays surroundings. They were taken at Kew, Chelsea where he worked as a consultant for Practical Gardening and various gardens and arboretums around the country.

We should try to get to Westonbirt as a group in October or whenever the leaves are changing. Of course there are other places as well. I went to Gardens of Heligan the other night and it was all lit up very different. I will post some shots another day.

Super idea, please post pix of Gardens of Heligan, not been there, keep forgetting about it.

I had a surprise package in the post this morning...

Graham kindly sent me the Quick Guide for the D800-D800E.

I have the PDF User Manual for the D800 but the quick guide will be very useful, Thank you Graham.

I am still plodding through the 400+ images, I have HDR'd them with no fuss but some of the slides are covers in dust and debris, I did try to brush the dust off followed by a blast of air from the Rocket Blower but sometimes it seems to stick to the slide. Methinks I might do more damage trying to get the muck off than leaving it for post process.

I am going through them, adding captions and ID'ing the plants/trees where I can, plus the locations and dates. Many of the labels have fallen off the slides so it's a bit of a lottery and guesswork on my part.

I'm lining up the next box ready to photograph them too.

If you have an iPhone or iPad you can download Nikon Manual Viewer and then the various manuals and guides for a range of cameras.
