Thank you, but I fear you over-estimate my capabilities. The original slide was taken on 50 ASA Fujichrome in a fixed lens (35 mm, as I recall) Olympus XA2, which was a cracking little camera for its day. The slide was then left in a box for several decades before being scanned recently on a cheap-and-cheerful scanner. I then edited it in photoshop elements to get rid of dust; otherwise what you see is pretty much what was on the slide. The slight blue-ish cast seems to be on the slide too rather than an artefact of the scanner and as this is common to a few slides I've scanned I think it may be something to do with having left them for many years; or possibly not, I'm sure there are others here much more knowledgable than I about this.
Back in the day it was a good discipline using a small, fixed lens film camera as it put the onus on you to get the image right before you pressed the shutter, and that's something I still try to do today; get one good image rather than shoot like wildfire on the grounds that you don't need to pay to have someone develop digital images. Doesn't always work, of course!
