I use a Cambo 8x10 as a projector to project 8x10 BW slides from an contact interpositive, as condenser type illumination source I used the illuminator (with its Fresnel) from a broken overhead projector, also I tried with a MF projector (with no slide) throwing light to the slide (in place of the GG), so plain solution. The lens, a Sironar N 300...
Now I want to use a powerful (colder) LED source to reach some 3000cd/m2...
How can I describe the result ??? Lets say than one can cry of emotion !!!!!
I feel this like photo-graphy, "photo and graphy", capturing photons and throwing photons with little in the middle. Purity...
Difficult to explain how much detail and dynamic range and static contrast appears on the wall by throwing there a 8x10, one has to see it, and then one may cry...
I bought expired 4x5 and 5x7 Velvia and Ektachrome to go forward.
How many times do we look at a sunset and we figure that we can capture a composition but little of that magic ?
Projecting a 4x5 Velvia/Provia (or BW !!!) is projecting that magic !!!!
Note that one may take advantage of Velvia DMax 3.8D, now I'm testing to shot high contrast scenes being shadows way underexposed, and then throwing a lot of light throught the slide, I'll try to adjust process for optimal projection peformance. BW film usually reach DMax 3, Silvermax can go closer to Velvia, in terms of DMax, but it's 135 only, also charming.
