STORM TRACK: December 31, 1977 (Volume 1 Issue 1)

When making slide duplicates and copying high contrast slides, try placing a water color tinted opaque glass or colored filter material between the floodlight and the copyer's opaque glass next to the slide being copied. Filter out the light reaching the lightest part of the slide and apply the thru-the-lens meter roading to take that copy-picture. Instead of "dodging" the print on an enlarger easel, you are "dodging" a slide. I can sometimes improve an original slide in this manner, drawing out cloud detail otherwise over-exposed and maintaining scenic ground detail with a bright sky.
