From slides (EktaChrome Elite 2 400 - but seriously damaged and badly processed by "Rainbow Photo 30min." 661 Keaumoku St, Honolulu, HI: they do good job with prints, but are totally incapable of processing slides correctly , and they are expensive for damaging them...! I have never seen worse!)
Note: the exposure times may be meaningless (correspond to 2x 3x their values because of the bad processing of the film)
North/Zenith is up in all the following pictures:
