Among the thousands of slides that I recently retrieved from storage in Ireland, was this image that I’d exposed on Fujichrome in Bavaria, Germany on January 20, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denis McCabe and I were on a week-long photographic exploration of southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This location on a Deutsche Bahn (DB) single track line at Bad Gr\u00f6nenbach featured traditional German mechanical signaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This slide was in a box labled ‘Bavaria, Extras’. (My code to indicate that I’d already culled the preferred images and filed them elsewhere.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, I scanned the slide using a Nikon LS-5000 Super CoolScan slide scanner powered by VueScan 9.7.08 software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I selected ‘Ektachrome’ with a ‘White Balance’ color profile and scanned as a TIF at 4000 dpi. Then I imported the scan to Adobe Lightroom and made several JPG variation. The first is scaled without correction. The others display various minor adjustments aimed at improving the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
