It happened to me once (yesterday) but was no problem.

Pinacyanol chloride can be difficult to find. But I noticed that City Chemical has it, listed as "Pinacyanole Chloride." It's shown on their website. I haven't done business with them, but they have a lot of interesting things. I get the impression that it might be easier to deal with them...

Tony, those questions are kind of sending me into a tailspin.

Tony, yes, this is only for a hologram, and that is the reason for the forced perspective, small size, and everything else. The evergreen trees are not placed at an angle, but I did not fill out their backsides, since they will only be seen from the front. When viewed from the side (which of course ...

Thanks Colin. I did consider stereo zoom microscopes, but they are awkward and expensive for this kind of work. I like reading glasses from the dollar store. They come in the range of +1 to +4. If more magnification is needed, the lenses of one set can be attached to another set, to multiply the mag...

Over the past couple years I tested numerous white LEDs for lighting holograms, and I would like to sell the ones which were not used (these were never connected or powered up, except for the 2 noted below). These are all good for lighting holograms at close range (except the blue ones). In my opini...

Thanks Tony. The figures are silver (fired "art clay silver"). I'm planning on a two-color hologram, as narrowband as possible. I did test the "water" (UV resin) and it turned out OK with some fairly long exposures with the 457nm laser on DCG. Nonetheless, I'm still somewhat worr...

Thanks Dave, Kiffdino, and Ahmet. The round thing does indeed "suck." It's a vacuum I use to get rid of the silicon carbide grit that sometimes needs to be sprayed on the sculpture. Not having to worry about the side or rear view makes things easier, but of course the perspective needs to ...

Hi Filipe, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I did the figures. I'm not planning to add anything that floats, but the sculpture still has a long way to go.

This is a sculpture that I'm working on, for a hologram. I haven't started the painting yet. The last photo shows how the forced perspective was used.
