[pure-silver] Re: Polarized Screens (was duplicate info)

Eric, can you please provide more info as to exactly what these "polarized screens" are? Also, how do you keep them from melting? I have can-type reflectors which are pretty big but the HOT bulbs (500W) stick out beyond them. Do I just need to get even bigger reflectors?

Sorry, all, for taking this so far afield of the "pure silver" list topic, but sometimes one must jump on an opportunity when it arises. Off-list, I would've learned something; posted, everyone else does, too.

I find that the polarized lighting works great with colored art work but I
would only recommend that lighting style for B&W copy work as a last resort
or at the very least, a distant alternative. The polarized screens when
last I bought some, where close to $50 a piece for 16? squares. These
worked great for the many many paintings that I photographed while making a
living in Taos, NM for the art crowd. And as long as you don?t melt them,
they will give you years of controlled lighting. I used two 500 watt lights
and when needed, a diffusion material to soften the light and the hide
texture in the surface of the original.
