My question is: If for some reason, I have to use Leitz silver tape at
the top of a slide and submit it for something I consider important (juried
show or consideration for still another book on ceramics), would the fact
that the top 1/8th of an inch or so has silver tape on it be a problem? Of
course, it makes the proportion of the 35 ml. slide different from the
others. Isn't there someone on the list who has juried shows (John Neely?).
On the light box, they look fine. I haven't checked on the projector yet
the ones I just taped.. Once recently, I noticed that a taped slide showed
a miniscule dot of light through the tape as if the sticky stuff on the back
had aged perhaps. I have had it a number of yrs.
Naturally, the best exposures of bracketed ones, gray card used some of the
time, show a tiny bit of white cardboard which I use as a "barn door".
That rarely happens but I needed something postmarked Nov. 10th and I was
rushing. It only happens, when it does, on vertical shots.
I have a really good system for table pieces as a professional photographer
built me a box which I can adjust height and tiltwise. I still am not
thrilled with the way I photograph wall pieces, a few of which I have been
making this last year. I did talk to my photo teacher of 20 yrs. ago, who
told me to diffuse two floods at different heights etc., and they are o.k.,
but a bit flat. I am not worried at all about those slides though.
Two more mailing deadlines ahead, and I wait with bated breath re the best
slides of the lot -- with the silver tape on top. Thanks a heap, folks. Bacia
