The skills they brought were honed in the college museum and included mounting specimens (taxidermy), maintaining displays, and organizing materials for laboratory classes. In addition, they both had years of experience as amateur field naturalists and shared an avid interest in photography. This was a rare opportunity for two very talented young men, and by all indications they made a great success of it over the ten- year period they worked at Glen Island. The museum grew year-by-year as Lewis gathered material on trips to distant locales in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pa- cific. They continued to prepare specimens from the local area and develop exhibits to excite the public’s interest in natural history. Mr. Princehorn increasingly used photogra- phy in his work, seeking images of animals in both natural and captive settings.

  • EPSON SCANNING TIPS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Epson Perfection 3170 Scanner
    EPSON SCANNING TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Epson Perfection 3170 Scanner SELECT A SUITABLE RESOLUTION The best scanning resolution depends on the purpose of the scan. When you specify a high resolution, the number of pixels increases and the scanned image becomes finer in texture. However, increasing the resolution causes the file size to increase. For example, an 8.5 x 11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file. The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1.3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so select the lowest possible resolution that produces acceptable quality. Specify a suitable resolution according to your scanning purpose. Recommended resolutions for scanning print material: PURPOSE RESOLUTION Web pages 96 dpi Sending E-mail 96 to 150 dpi Printing 300 dpi Saving as a PDF file 300 dpi Sending Fax 200 dpi OCR (Optical Character Recognition) 300 dpi Use Target Size to specify the output size of the scanned image. If you are enlarging your image, you must increase the resolution (dpi) proportionally to maintain the resolution of your original. Try scanning slides at 1200 dpi or higher. If you reduce the size of the image on a page, it does not decrease its file size. SCAN SETTINGS For photos: For film: For slides: Specify Adjustment settings, if necessary, such as dust removal for slides and film. PLACING FILM OR SLIDES ON SCANNER You can scan 35mm slides, 35mm film or negative strips, and Medium Format transparencies on the Epson 3170 using the appropriate film holders which come with the scanner.

When the pleasingly composed image is clear on the ground glass, the subject is in sharp focus. 3. The mirror reflects the image to the ground glass. When the exposure release is pressed, the mirror swings upward out of the way, instantly releasing the focal plane shutter-securing the desired picture. 4.

  • Big Bertha/Baby Bertha
    Big Bertha /Baby Bertha by Daniel W. Fromm Contents 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke 1 2 Dreaming of a Baby Bertha 5 3 Baby Bertha conceived 8 4 Baby Bertha’s gestation 8 5 Baby cuts her teeth - solve one problem, find another – and final catastrophe 17 6 Building Baby Bertha around a 2x3 Cambo SC reconsidered 23 7 Mistakes/good decisions 23 8 What was rescued from the wreckage: 24 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke American sports photographers used to shoot sporting events, e.g., baseball games, with specially made fixed lens Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. These were made by fitting a Graflex SLR with a long lens - 20" to 60" - and a suitable focusing mechanism. They shot 4x5 or 5x7, were quite heavy. One such camera made by Graflex is figured in the first edition of Graphic Graflex Photography. Another, used by the Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram, can be seen at http://www.lurvely.com/photo/6176270759/FWST_Big_Bertha_Graflex/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/21211119@N03/6176270759 Long lens SLRs that incorporate a Graflex are often called "Big Berthas" but the name isn’t applied consistently. For example, there’s a 4x5 Bertha in the George Eastman House collection (http://geh.org/fm/mees/htmlsrc/mG736700011_ful.html) identified as a "Little Bertha." "Big Bertha" has also been applied to regular production Graflexes, e.g., a 5x7 Press Graflex (http://www.mcmahanphoto.com/lc380.html ) and a 4x5 Graflex that I can’t identify (http://www.avlispub.com/garage/apollo_1_launch.htm). These cameras lack the usual Bertha attributes of long lens, usually but not always a telephoto, and rapid focusing.
