Carousel, 1948

I first came across this image as a Kodachrome print in one of my Aunt's photo albums. The picture was wallet sized but vibrant and intriguing. Sure enough the original slide appeared and I scanned it to present it here. I'm not sure of the location. It might be the amusement park that existed for years at the site of Mounds State Park (Anderson, IN) or possibly Riverside park in Indianapolis. The identities of the ladies is unknown, but the more I look at it the more I think that the sidesaddle rider on the right could be my Aunt Emily. The Kodachrome slide is undated but the print bears an imprint "This is a KODACHROME PRINT made by EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY T.M. Regis. U.S. Pat. Off. Nov. 23, 1948". View full size.

Scanner dynamic range

Submitted by JeffK on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 10:33pm.

There's a question I've been mulling for a few months and I just realized the Shorpy community may be able to answer it.

What would be a good step up from my Epson Stylus Photo 4490 scanner? I am really pleased with its resolution, but the dynamic range isn't enough from some images.

I've been scanning my parents' 35mm slides from the 50s, with the Epson. Sometimes, for example, I can get the clouds in the bright sky, or the shadow detail. But not both.

Any recommendations?

[Flatbed scanners (what you're using now) are designed mainly to image reflective media. For transmissive media (negatives and slides) you will get better results with a film scanner. The Nikon Coolscan 4000 series is a popular example. For film bigger than 35mm, the 9000 series. - Dave]
