We would like to extend another thanks to our class president, Alan Huey, for the work he did that allowed us to share our precious memories in the Graduation Candid Photos Slide Show.
In case you were curious how he digitized these ancient slides, Alan pulls aside the curtain and gives us a peek behind it.
Basically, a Lego stand for the iPhone, and a stand for the slide so they align in a fixed distance and position. Then a white screen behind that with a non-strobing bulb. I found it’s important that the screen is beyond the focal range of the camera. Photos I took before I figured that out showed the texture of the screen material. I tried copy paper and then this 3 ring binder divider. I used an Apple Watch for the camera trigger to reduce movement and shot with a zoom about 3.1 in this set up. Once set up, you can snap a pic every 10 seconds or so.
