The old mill

The old mill.

The new Nikon D850 allows you to invert color negatives. This is a Kodacolor photo I took 60 years ago with my first camera, the legendary Bessa Voigtlander 6x9 cm format, inherited from my father. It is an old mill that no longer exists in a country in the interior of Sardinia.

In these quarantine days I am dedicating myself to digitizing the old negatives. Thanks for your comments

Giangiorgio..These trying times are good to reflect on the past!Nice shot and great recovery to digital age.Keep safe my friend!Salutations-Laurent

Good one Giangiorgio. it's amazing you still have negatives from 60 years ago. Stay well, We're on our 17th day of the stay at home order, and it's driving us crazy. Patrick

Laurent I am grateful for the words you expressed , take care of you, ciao Giangiorgio

Patrick thanks for your visit and your attention, my quarantine has been going on for more than a month, but I'm not bored, ciao Giangiorgio

A charming romantic picture from the past, Giangiorgio! I guess this is a birds rendezvous. Glad you posted this photo, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Giangiorgio, you took this picture 60 years ago in color?! I started to take pictures five years later and only in B&W and three years later I had my first darkroom, only B&W! This picture is a nice reminder of the old times! Complimenti! PDE

Giangiorgio, I'm quite happy to see that you are posting again. Picking up on what Laurent stated, your current project is worthwhile, not only because it occupies your time, but also because it honors your father's memory. I'd wager that you have a high-quality scanner, which resulted in this image's quality - in terms of lighting, color, and detail. Regarding the quarantine - My wife and I reach the end of a "requested" quarantine of 14 days today, resulting from flying home from Israel. But we're continuing it voluntarily until it is safe to be out and about, and around people. Stay safe, my friend. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Thanks a lot Tatiana for your, beautiful appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie mille Pierre for your comments, I also had a darkroom and for years I have developed and printed my photos, I have also experimented with Cibachrome with excellent results, ciao Ginagiorgio

Dear Michael, thanks for your interesting observations and compliments. As I mentioned in my first comment, I don't use sophisticated scanners but I photograph negatives with the Nikon D850 which transforms them directly into positives with a high definition. Continue to take care of you, ciao Giangiorgio

A nice photo testifying older times. The quality of scanning and most likely the original color negative is excellent. I concur with your note to Patrick.

Our quarantine here in Rome has also been going on for about a month, but neither my wife nor I are bored. I wish you and all of us good health and stamina, ciao Sandor

Dear Sandor, I do not use the scanner but I reproduce the negatives with macro optics by taking advantage of this fantastic function of the Nikon d850 which transforms negatives directly into positive in both black and white and in color. Thanks for your nice comment and for the constant support, ciao Giangiorgio

Great shot!!

Thanks Warren for your nice comment, I always appreciate your visit, ciao Giangiorgio

I am glad Mary you liked it, thanks for your visit and kind appreciated comment, ciao Giangiorgio
