Hi Alfred, is the camera club still going in OM? I remember my dad used to be a member. They had this competition going in those days were every member had to submit one photo a month. The photos were then distributed to each member in turn for appraisal and criticism. The winner received a small gift from the club shop. Usually a roll of film or something similar.

Carl the camera club and shop is no longer yes I do remember the photo/slide compotitions they had

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

I was also active in the Camera Club when Carls dad was there

Our slides were sent to CT. An expert there commented the slides and gave pionts.

Once a month, we showed the slides with the comments. I was projectionist and belonged to the commitee for a while. Good buddies in the club.

Spoke to Dieter Heiser on skype about those times. He run the shop a long time also his wife run it before him.

A highlight was a trip to Richtersveld, i would show you an old 8mm film from that, but you have no broadband, so forget it

Me five.....me five  grab

Snr, do you perhaps know what happened to the Heiser's after OM? I was best buddies with Ebby's son Horst in OM. After Ebbie passed away Horst and his mother moved to Somerset West and that was the last contact I had.

Yes Carl

Dieter is on the board. Get his email adress and fins him in skype. I had some chats with him

He lives in CT, big shot on construction and is married to Patricia O-munder ( Ex shop keeper camera club)

Alfre

Your 5th photo (P100102) looks suspiciously like Chamies Bay looking southwards towards the headland thats there. 
Your 6th photo is also familiar and looks like a small bay north of Chameis Bay - about 2 -3 kms.  I dont know what its called but recall that there were lots of rocks and cliffs.

I could be very wrong - my memory is not what it used to be (old age).

Cheers

Malcolm

well done that man,great pictures alfred,keep them comming boet

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Malcom jumped me on this one, Alfred, but that was my next guess -  Chamais Bay! 

Damn  -  I will for sure have to bring those slides of my dad with to the reunion so we can sort through them and add comments etc.  Have said before that I don't know how to get those slides onto the computer, but you guys might help me do it.

You  get  sanners  that  can  scan  slides   and  negatives  , got one  such  at  home ...    ask  around somebody you  know  must  surely   have  one ... 

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Thanks Sandy, you just gave me an idea.  Might ask this one guy who owns the local Gazette if he has something like that.  He is also a very keen photographer, so I think for sure he will have one, or some other gadget that can do it.

Scanning slides

We had that subject before.....

Tip: Pending on the quality of the scanner, the results will vary tremendously

Use the highest resolution and save the first scan as a tiff File, later when edited you save as JPG

Have fun..... i have scanned thousends and was busy round the clock for ten days.

Too  true  Georg .. i did  some initially ..  used   default   settings  and  when  you  took  them up to size  it  was  all  squares   . i  got  dead  ordinary  HP  scanner  and  it seems  to  do  an  adequate  job  just slow ..   .. other  one  ..  the  slides   mus  be scrupulously  clean   as  every  bit of  dust  etc  shows  up  and makes  it fuzzy
