did anyone try this: cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?

... yes, that is what I mean. Most cameras have a macro mode, but you can also put the camera about 0.5 meters away from the ground glass. Ok, the image is dim, but [...] It's just plain crazy to think of photograhing the ground glass. Has the OP ever looked at a ground glass? And that's only one reason. |

... How will the "image act as an object" without the glass? optics 101. You are, of course, imagining shooting the aerial image. Sweet dreams, chibitul. |

The rays will keep propagating toward the digicam, and they "emerge" from the real image, no glass needed. as I said, optics. Magical thinking. |

The rays will keep propagating toward the digicam, and they "emerge" from the real image, no glass needed. as I said, optics. The problem at this point is that the light rays from the big camera's lens are radiating outward in a cone, focused on the glass screen (or film). The P&S can only ever see a tiny fraction of that cone where-ever you put it, except perhaps very close in behind the camera lens where its tiny lens can intercept the complete cone. Unfortunately the image would be wildly out of focus there, plus it would negate all the features of the large format camera you are hoping to utilise. A couple of years ago, there was a similarly confused poster here, who swore endlessly that one could copy slides using a slide project WITHOUT a screen. --He stubbornly clung to the idea that by pointing a camera directly at the slide projector from accross the room...and focusing the camera on the same PLANE where the screen would have been (where the projector was also focussed)...that one could photograph the entire picture--as though this created (I guess) some sort of new magical light-radiation point (or some such thing) in the air at that unreflected point fo focus. -No amount of explaining would persuade him otherwise. I finally suggested that he try it. ....I didn't see any posts from him after that. It's easy to forget, I guess, that some of these basic directional concepts are not necessarily intuitively understood by everyone. Perhaps it's a case of too many Star Trek episodes where they have the magically impossible capability to...from and single point...project an image, and have it show up with no point or field of reflected light in the middle of the room's air. |

Does anyone remember that 4X5 or other LF transparencies can be SCANNED and are
then DIGITAL and can be played with accordingly? Are there really folks out there who have so much time on their hands that they have to find Rube Goldberg solutions to simple problems or have some folks just become so hung up on digital that they just can't think in any other terms? argon |
