(This
part of the project will go on hold after my 1987 photos are uploaded)

- 1995 - 1994 - 1993 –
1992 - 1991 - 1990 –

To be added at a later
date include Silverstone British GP in early 1990’s
Continuation will
require scanning of negatives which are, to say the least, disorganized.
I may not get to this
task till next winter (or the one after that)!
Another project shared
with Randy McKee and Greg Rickes is to scan the archives of our friend Joe Corbett.
So there’s no shortage
of tasks!

I should have a
contest like how many jelly beans in the jar. How many slides in the closet? (I
don’t know the answer and won’t be counting them). I have several thousand more
from later years. Lots of F1, mostly boring. Hopefully I’ll get to them!
Here’s the
workstation, scanner lower right:
Scans are being
done with a HP Scanjet 4890 at 300dpi resolution.
This scanner scans 16 slides in one batch at user selected resolution with
Hewlett Packard software.
I used 300dpi which makes a jpg file 500-700KB each slide. Not the best, but ok
for now.
The PC is a dual core AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ 2.2GHz processor with 3GB RAM
running Windows XP-Professional.
I’m building a new quad-core PC for Windows 7, so I have
added another scanner to my toolbox, HP G4050
Link to TigerDirect where there is much more information on
the G4050 here
I think the Epson V500 (below) is a worthy scanner too, but
does fewer slides at once! Around $230
