john hesselberth's second installment of his photography article

Does anyone have the second installment of John's article about
photographing your own pots from Clay times? Could the photocopy and
mail it to me?

I have the first article and the update but not the issue containing the
second installment, and it's not available as a back issue from CT.

The main question I think might be answered by that article is how high
above the object being photographed should the soft box be hung if you
have a 400w strobe?

Thanks in advance

Russel

unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.

Hi Russel,

It is on my web site in pdf format. Go to

http://www.frogpondpottery.com/articles/photopot2.html

The answer to your question though is to sacrifice a roll of film and
test, test, test. You knew that was coming didn't you. I woulld mount
it a couple feet above the top of your average pot and then run an
exposure series. You really only have to do that once.

Regards,

John
