  1. Thanks, Mike, I will look into the sugestions you make. Can't say more until I have seen them. I am involved with a wordpress site too, but we find it hard to have wordpress do what we like, rather than the other way round. But the main raison d'etre of that site is not showing photos and WP is indeed an excellent tool for the other types of content. @conrad: In the time I made my website I needed flash only to make a kind of slide-show with slide-in/out animation. Today I would choose css to do the same thing. But as a bonus, the flash application well hides the location of the images, so one needs more than the right mouse button to download the photos. So far, all the web-apps I have seen work with Javascript/Css leaving the resource locators in the open. If that is all there is now, I guess I will have to go with the flow, but for the moment i am still reluctant to choose that direction.
  2. Years ago I made my website (www.iconoclastica.nl) based on flash and hand-coded html, which served my needs and was reasonably safe against rogue downloading. For a number of years now I note ever fewer computers are able to display the flash app. Now, after a long time of neglect, I'd like to bring my site up to date with modern technology. What is the present day advice on tech or web applications to do so?
  3. I have been presented with an old MultiBlitz IIIb flash unit from 1964. It seems to be in working order, but I don't yet entirely understand it. For example, there are 5 connector sockets, where probable at least two of them are to be used as trigger connectors. And there's a second, smaller block beneath the power house, where I would expect a battery unit, that contains similar power electronics with a really huse capacitor as the main power unit. I have no clue yet how this is supposed to cooperate with the main unit other than how to connect it physically. Therefore I am quite desperately looking for the original manual, or a copy of it. There are pics of it at Pinterest's, but they don't lead me to the text. Would anyone here have a tip where to look for it?
  4. <p>Attatched to the light trap of the Paterson Orbital are two perpendicular ridges that by some are designated "flow guides". It's quite hard to describe what they look like, but here's a picture showing 'm clearly:<br> <img src="http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.org.uk/article_images/orbital/picture2.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="340" /><br> Since I am now using the Orbital two develop 13x18 negatives with emulsion on both sides, I have to lift the film a little (c. 2mm) from the bottom to allow developer to work on the entire lower film surface. Doing so, however, causes the flow guides to make two clearly visible parallel marks on the film.<br> What do you think, are these flow guides essential the way they are, or would it be safe to make them a little less high so they won't touch the film?</p> <p> </p>
