I've just imported my entire photo collection into Lightroom. This is from my school days 40 years ago, when men were men, maths was maths and there were no calculators!!

... but there were slide rules and pretty mechanical calculators, such as the Curta! ;)

I loved it back in those days. The USA had just landed on the moon, I was starting out to study physics and we had £sd currency, imperial and metric measure. So you had base 20, 16, 12, 3 as well as 10! And just slide rules and log tables! ....I know, I'm showing my age!!

I had one of those slide rules, from my parents. Either your photo collection was really tiny, or it was a long and tiring and tedious (but ultimately rewarding) job! Also, 40 years ago, when cameras used film!

Thanks,

Yes, there are a lot of photos, but I started with the oldest ones first. The shot is taken on HP3 film using a Zenith B camera and scanned.

My mother had a Zenit when she was young, though I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what kind, all I know is it was bulky and heavy. Tedious work, really, scanning photographs. I've done a couple, it's not something I'd like to do on a large scale.

No. No large scale scanning. I have loads of negs from my pre-digital days and I don't intend to scan them all in. I got my first digital camera back in 1995 when I was living in Virginia, so the retro exercise on DA might jump to the 1990's very fast.

Yes, the Zenit was like a tank. Still, a good start.
