I'm working on the photos you mentioned today. It's really hard to find duplicates in so many photos so I appreciate all the help I can get! The reason the EXIF shows my 5D is because at the time I was using the Canon to make in-camera dupes of the film using my slide duplicator. I think those "scans" are also the reason for the out-of-focus areas in the film that was not held absolutely flat. At the time I was having problems with the software for my Nikon scanner and it was just easier to use the camera. Someday I'll get around to rescanning those with an actual scanner but right now the film is stored in boxes that are hard to get to. The Quashqai women and men in this family all had those spectacular green eyes. The girl ran when I tried to take her photo but it was only to go and put on more eye make-up! 175721439 - The red circle shows the house where we lived. It was in a compound built for the people who worked at the aluminum and steel plants in Arak. There were people there from all over the world, especially Russia. Thanks again for commenting. I really appreciate it!! Tina On Fri, Aug 22, 2025 at 7:22?AM Peter Dzwig <pdzwig at summaventures.com> wrote: > Tina, > > Done it!
