Disclaimer! The author has for years been taking very effective slides using high-contrast techniques. These look very good on screen from a projector, but fail utterly when trying to get a good scan! Even Kodak couldn't manage some of them when I got a selection put on CD Rom. Now I have a slide-scanner, but there are still some problems with very high contrast shots. So - please forgive? Future photo's will be shot with the sun behind me - I promise! Unless........
