This 30 year old slide had deteriorated in storage and the colors were faded. There was a ton of dust on the slide that wouldn't come off. I rescued it by converting to B&W, then cleaning up in NX2. The toning was added in Snapseed. You can see that the crew have dropped the chute way too early and have hauled in the main and jib while still sailing downwind. The spinnaker sheet has been loosened when it should have been pulled in under the boom, and the spinnaker is going into the water. It will cost them
Big Boat Series 1985. PP in NX2 to make the foreground greyish, and to clean up the dust caused by storing the slide for 30 years in a cheap plastic page. If I ever do slides again I will store them in boxes.
I rescanned the Ektachrome using a lightbox and NEX-5T with micro-Nikkor 55. Set for Vivid color. PP in SIlkypix Studio 4 for better more natural colors than previous posting. I shot this from my C&C 3/4T raceboat. No one seemed to mind that I was so close to them. My son steered while I filmed.
