This week I experimented with viewing witness cones through
a cell phone camera. The idea was to see the cones on the
cell phone screen without having to look through the
peephole into the bright light of the kiln.
My Nokia phone showed only a bright white circle without a
filter and a greenish bright circle with firing safety
glasses (green #3) as a filter. Neither image showed a cone.
However, a Canon Rebel camera with the firing safety glasses
in front of the lens captured a clear image of the cone.

Get out of town. Are you serious?
I had a very hard time viewing cones last firing. Not even my clay
'cone stage' helped see them. I'll try the camera with the tented
lense next time if there ever is a next time...

Arnold --
Very useful info! I will try the same
with some various equipment -- just to
be sure I'm doing the same thing you
did, you got the good results
with the #3 green glasses and the
Canon, right?
Best wishes -- Steve Slatin
