making slides for juried shows

I need a fairly small collection of slides to submit to juried shows.

Some could be exact duplicates of slides. Others need to be copies of

prints or digital files.

 

What kind of results do you get from shooting a slide on a light box

using a Tamron 90 macro?

 

Assuming you're using a light box to light a print, what kind of slide

film would you use to get the most accurate color.

 

Most important - what sort of quality are judges looking for given

that it isn't the work itself, only a copy?

I've no idea what sort of shows you're entering. If you've slides to

be judged, I suggest having a professional lab make dupes of

them if you choose not to submit originals. Painters and

sculptors submit slides of their work for various purposes.

These can be originals or good dupes. The dupes are usually

made by a professional lab, and sometimes prints are

produced, too. Computer technology permits the prints to be

very good nowadays, since no internegs are needed. This

means your digital files can be submitted as slides or prints as

required. Shooting your own slides calls for some testing to find

the right color-correction filters to put on your camera to get

true-color slides with whatever film you use. Judges may accept

work based on images that aren't quite color-balanced, but most

artists want better than that. Judges do expect the submitted

images to be fully lighted, in focus, and big enough to show

detail; i.e, fill the frame when you shoot.

This may be redundant to Keith's very good reply, but timewise and quality-wise, go pro with duplicates. Juried shows still want quality dupes as good as the original. Making dupes yourself is a time consuming trial and error, inconsistent effort. It just might be an area you would like to expand to, for your own satisfication and convenience, but not just for submitting to a show.
