Fig.13 The 461.36 back of the 4x5"/9x12 cm SINARf1 has no meterprobe holder and no liftinglevers. To convertto the meteringback replacethe film holder frame by the 462.96frame with probe holder.lf you also want the liftinglev- ers,replace the model 1 screenframe by the model2,461 .56. Fig.14 Fitting the back on the camera open the lockinglever at the top left (4x5'79x12cm) or at the left and right (5x7"/13x18cm and 8x10"/18x24cm) of the rearcoupling frame, insert the back at the baseof the couplingframe, push home and lock (alsosee Figs. 8 and 9). For uprightand horizontalshots you can fit the backs in alternative positionsturned through 90". (Forhorizontal shots positionthe meterprobe holderat the top, for uprightshots at the left.) Removing the screen frame (4x5"/9x12cm back) To separatethe screenframe from the film holderframe use both thumbs to depressthe serratedcoupling levers at the leftand rightwhile pushing the screenframe upwards (see Fig. 15).The "Graflock"type latchesat the sides of the filmholder frame permit direct attachment of bulkyrollfilm holders. To reassemble,fit the screenframe shifted upwards through about 1 cm (so thatthe holesat the sidesare level) and pushdown till it engages. lnserting film holders The meteringback has lifting leversat the bottom left and right to lift the screenframe off the film holderframe. This liftingsystem facilitates smooth insertionof filmholders. For thin film holders slightly depress one lever, push inthe holderand let go. For thicker holders fully open both levers, push in the filmholder and closethe levers. On a back without liftinglevers lifi the screenframe as shown in Fig.18 and pushin the filmholder.

The SINAR p2 und c2 special rear standard bearer This heavy-duty standard bearer, specifically designed for the 8x1O"/ 18x24 cm format , forms the bottom section of the SINARp2 and c2 rear standard.lt makesbest use of all shift,tilt and swing rangesand also has a Fis.19 deoth of field scale. The multipurpose standard This servesas the lensstandard on the SINARf1 . lt can also be usedas an objectstage for close-upsand macroshots and as an intermediatestandard for longcamera extensions. Set the verticaland lateralshifts to the appropriateengagement stop or col- oured mark (seetable on page 3) to matchthe locationof the opticalaxis to the formatcombination used. Raising: Slackoff the clampingscrew and pushup thecolumns as shown inFig. 21. Lowering:See Fig. 22. Fitting/removal: Fullyunscrew the coarse-focusclamping screw to openthe hingedcollar of the multipurposestandard. You can then removethe standardwithout dis- mantlingthe camera. You can also resetthe clampinglevers of the multipurposestandard. Un- screw the retainingscrew with a coin, removethe leverand refit in the re- quiredposition.

  • TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh
    TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh My! You’ve entered the deep dark tunnel of creating a new thing…you can’t see the light of day… Some of my colleagues can tell you that I am NOT pleasant to be around when I am in the creative video-making tunnel and I feel like none of the footage I have is working the way I want it to, and I can’t seem to fix even the tiniest thing, and I’m convinced all of my work is garbage and it’s never going to work out right and… WOW. Okay deep breaths. I think it’s time to step away from the expensive equipment and go have a piece of cake…I’ll be back… Editing, for me at least, is the hardest, but also most creatively fulfilling part of the video-making process. I have such a love/hate relationship with editing because its where I start to see all the things I messed up in the planning and filming process. But it’s ALSO where - when I let it - my creativity pulls me in directions that are BETTER than I planned. Most of my best videos were okay/mediocre in the planning and filming stages, but became something special during the editing process. So, how the heck do you do it? There are lots of ways to edit, many different styles, formats and techniques you can learn. But for me at least, it comes down to being playful and open to the creative process. This is the time to release your curious and playful inner child.

  • 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.

  • Imovie Handout
    Using iMovie iMovie is a video editing program that is available on Apple computers. It allows you to create and edit movies with titling and effects, so that you can export them to the Web. iMovie imports video from DV cameras. It can also import other video files, like mpeg or mov and formats from smartphones. The new version can import most video formats, but if you run into trouble, you can try a video converter like MPEG Streamclip to get the files in a format that iMovie will accept. You can import a digital clip as shown below. Most of your footage will be from a digital source. To import, you simply choose the Import button at the top of the screen. You can name the event (File, New Event), so you can organize your files. Once you have the event, you can simply drag from the finder to add the files or choose File, Import Media. Video Editing 1. Now you have several clips captured in your event library. You need to create a New Movie Project to work in. In the Projects tab, choose Create New. iMovie saves as you go, but it will later prompt you to save the project. 2. Now the screen is separated into three parts. There is the clip window and viewer at the top and the timeline at the bottom. You must move clips into the timeline to have them as part of your movie. 3. To select an entire clip, double-click. Put the playhead anywhere in the clip and hit the space bar to play.

  • 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.
