Projection & Viewing

Dr. T comments:
 I would like to discuss a variety of issues like what makes a good 3-d slide
in projection,

This is an issue that was discussed in some detail in this forum a few years
ago. It's quite true that depending upon your own personal style of shooting
there can be considerable difference in what makes a good slide in the hand
viewer and what makes a good slide projected on the big screen.  When I was
still submitting slides for the PSA salons and sending in slides for the SSA
folios, I had to make very careful choices about what slides went where. Many
of my slides that looked fabulous in the hand viewer vanished into ho-hum
land on the screen and vice-versa.  Much of this had to do with the fact that
the hand viewer gives you a very bright crystalline image loaded with detail,
comparatively little of which transfers to the screen in projection. 
    In general--there are exceptions of course--I kept the big, bold
compositions with bright subjects in the projection salons and the slides
with a lot of fussy detail and very wide contrast range in the hand viewer
circuits.

    Incidentally, officially speaking, the SSA is NOT part of the NSA, the
only relationship between the two organizations is that the SSA requires
membership in the NSA before you join them.
