Negative Film Digital Camera Scanning 2

Supplement of the last posting may be needed. Acrylic plate is easy to get, but anti-Newton ring type might be difficult to procure. I made it by the method of following process.
1 prepare a piece of acrylic plate and lacquer thinner (organic solvent) and rubbing compound for plastic model kit(fine, super fine)
2 spread thinner on the surface of the plate until the surface become translucent
3 polish the surface of the plate until recovering it's transparency using the compound.

To be short, making the surface irregular, the interference between the plate and the film can be avoided. Surprisingly, Newton ring will disappear.
 As for a close-up lens, Top lens of 70mm-300mm zoom lens is available. I recommend you to procure the junk, and disassemble the top lens of it. It is easy to be removed.

I show my sample of the photo transformed from negative again.

Negative Film Digital Camera Scanning.

 Kodak announced "The film division is in black still now. Film products will be supplied after the bankruptcy." Film camera will be survive for the present.
 By the  way, I will show the example of negative film image transformed to Positive image. Without film scanner, you can negative film scanning too.
 I use a piece of acryl plate on the film. It was special processed not to cover Newton ring (optical noises) on the film. The close up lens is Pentax 67 smc 200mm, and the digital camera is Canon S95.
 Negative film has no criteria to revive  natural color, and you have to interrupt the color information of negative film. Using Photoshop software, you can make positive images like my sample.
 Make it easy!

Tsar Bomba

Why does Ahmadinejad try to get nuclear weapons so hastily? I can't say the fact without hesitation. "Hydrogen bomb is by far more destructive than Uranium bomb." As a matter of fact, Hydrogen bomb "Tsar Bomba" Which was made by USSR in 1961, had three thousands times as powerful as usual nuclear bomb. More over, modern aerosol bomb is known to have the destructive power that is even with the atomic bomb of Hiroshima type.
  Once the ability of product is got, an atomic bomb is by far cheaper than usual weapons.
Probably,this is why Iran and North Korea try to get nuclear weapons. And they will start a business with them. I can't understand any reason but this economical reason.
  We all already know the fact that only one mad dictator can make the world  a ruin.
Even now ,I'm astounded  by the fact that 50-year old Tsar Bomber had already had such the demoniac power.
