Magnifiers II - The Kodak Portrait lens

 

There's no tellin how the light will bounce around in these magnifers.  You angle 'em this way and that, and you get them a certain way, and shoot.  

Take care

Hey Steve

My heartfelt thanks Steve, very kind words. Subject matter like these magnifiers and various assortments of glass, plus backlight, and lenses like the Pinkhams and the Kodak portrait just seem to go together.

Many times I will experiment, juxtaposing this stuff this way and that, and the light will bounce around in a way that I didn't expect, and sometimes in a way I hadn't envisioned when I set up the shot.

Take care
