Re: Hand made darkslides

Hi Bill,

May I also kindly ask that you turn your HTML (Rich-text) email to Plain
text.
I you are using Outlook Express, go to Format on the options on the top
and then down the column, click on "Plain Text". You can also go to
your address book and mark the pinhole list address as always send in
Plain text when you go to the name tab.
Thnaks for your attention,
Guy Glorieux

I've tried it, can't say with much success. I was making a "film holder"
for a daguerreotype plate by laminating succesive layers of model
airplane plywood, using one of the thinner pieces for the dark slide. it
worked OK for the dag because the plate is so "slow', but for film or
photographic paper I think you'd need to add felt or something to make
the slot more light tight. You'll also need to pay close attention to
light tightness around the film holder and at the closed end.

  Has anyone tried making their own darkslides? I am thinking of making
a 10x8 camera and would like to be able to take more than one photo
before returning to the darkroom.
