Plate 11:  Two different trial illuminations of a toy aircraft
(This plate added FEB 2004)

HE two photographs on this page were taken under different lighting conditions. Because the photographer's removable black setting for small displays had not yet been constructed, the toy aircraft, a fighter plane, was posed on top of the slipcase for the dictionary seen in Plate 1, and the entire black matting board, seen in Plate 4, was positioned upright as a backdrop. --more--
This photograph, at 1.2 megapixel resolution, was illuminated by an everyday 60-watt bulb in the light fixture shown in Plate 6	This photograph, at 1.2 megapixel resolution, was illuminated by a 100-watt floodlamp in the light fixture shown in Plate 6
These photos differ slightly from the photos in Plates 8, 9 and 10. In the previous photos, the subjects were placed directly upon the black slipcase of the dictionary shown in Plate 1. In this photo, a rectangle of black paper (cut from the roll shown in Plate 3 ) was placed upon the slipcase of the dictionary. The toy aircraft, as labeled on the manufacturer's packaging, represents a Supermarine Mk II Spitfire, and was made to a scale of 1/72 (one seventy-second). After a serious appraisal of both photographs, the collector and the photographer both agreed that they preferred the illumination provided by the 100-watt floodlamp. Go to top of page
