These images were taken with an Nikon SLR on a tripod of the projection screen, on Kodak Ultra Color 400 and professionally scanned (for a preview disk) by the developer. Since the film was daylight balanced, and the projector uses a tungsten source, the color in many is a bit yellow; to help correct, extra shots were taken with a full blue gel placed between the condensing lens and the slides. In some cases (depending on the aperture/shutter speed./angle of the camera to the screen) the color came out "right" with the gel--in most cases, though, the images came out a bit blue with the gel, or very yellow without. These are the better of the bunch.
