The past few months I've been digitizing my parent's negatives. It's fun, but the results aren't nearly as good as yours. Mostly because they used a crappy Kodak 110 camera, so the negatives are very tiny and the original camera wasn't very good either. It's amazing how out of order the negatives are. Individual strips were pulled out of an envelope years ago to have reprints made, and then never returned. Just thrown into the box in the new envelope. So there is very little order to the whole thing.
But there are a few real gems, where a picture was taken on a bright sunny day, close to the subject and all the colors are good.
I've been back lighting the negs and shooting them with my camera. Adjusting the images in the GIMP. Color correction from negatives is a real challenge for me.
