The Daisy Maloo is lovely -O

Must be quite a job to scan all the pics. I hope that your scanner is faster than mine :O^ -O

I had a laugh at Chick's names =O: =O:

My old man has hundreds of these type pics, but they are all on projector slides, so I need to figure out how to convert them :-?

Lovely pics Flutterby. I can also remember going in one year and the lions looked terrible. I think there was a problem with foot and mouth from buffalo kills.

I can smell that breakfast from here.

Hey B.C. - I do believe that one can get a slide scanner for scanning slides onto your P.C. - Better get busy.

BC, my dad also has slides which I have converted but not using anything fancy. I taped a piece of white paper over a lamp, stuck the slide on the paper and then got up close and photographed the slide with my camera...obviously the lamp must be on. ;-)

Here are some...not bad I think. ;-)

I used normal photocopy paper but if I had used a smoother piece of white paper, there wouldn't be that grain in the sky.

Those animal names Chick invented crack me up. But the best is Daisy Maloo =O: =O: =O:

And you're not lying ( ;-) ) - another beautifully maned Lion ^Q^


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

It was quite a job - but on our scanner you can chose what quality you want, so obviously the better quality the longer it takes. ;-)

Maybe it was the same thing then. \O

Jislaaik Flutterby - Talk about making a plan. Your scans of slides have come out great. ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Hey B.C. - Thought you could manage to buy one with the small change in your pocket O** O** O**
