RE: 35 mm slides

Art show jurying by slides is becoming widespread, so you need to know how
to do this.

Make a good print of your work first. If you have a copystand, that's the
easiest way to shoot it, but basically you want to set up two matching
lights, of proper color temperature, at 45 degree angles to the work. Then
using film that matches the color temp of the lights, meter a grey card,
than photograph the work. I alays advise artists, who think their slides
shot under available light with reflections, glare or mismatched color are
acceptable, that the jurors are judging their slide, not the work.Th e slide
has to look right.

I want to enter a photo contest in which they want a 35mm slide. How do you
go about doing this? Does the slide have to be top quality or do you just
shoot it with your 35mm camera?
