My spouse's uncle Elstner Hilton took this photo in Japan between 1914 and 1918.
I am guessing this cart had small circular windows through which children could see a succession of images. I wonder whether they were illuminated by natural light, or whether there was a light source inside the cart.

1) Kodak Brownie 127. Original version (£4). A new film type to try.
2) Magic Lantern slides. The handwriting on the box reads 'North America (Alaska?)'. Shots of landscapes and people. 20th century. (£8)
3) Picture of the daguerreotype school - possibly a tintype on blackened aluminum (£6). The image is 19th century. Hopefully an original, but the condition is too good to be true.
ODC Red On Gold.
I have seen many different kinds of gold because I worked in the Gold Mining Industry when I lived in Canada. I saw bright shiny silvery gold, dull yellow gold, gold that looked like it was green etc. etc. So not all gold is created equal.

This is a boldly illustrated glass slide featuring a traditional lifeboat and its crew as they triumphantly steer and row through a storm.
The slide is from some time between the late 19th century and early 20th century. It would have been viewed using a magic lantern, an early type of image projector.

Went out last night with some photography mates to shoot a sunset & ended up playing with light trails, capturing the late night traffic on eastern freeway overpasses in Melbourne.
Which gave me the perfect chance to grab a heap of images to use for my recently developed custom photoshop action blending script.
Shot with Canon 5d3 (running Magic Lantern) & FD 35mm f/2.8 SSC Tilt Shift lens (EF converted) with ND 8 filter & some light +/- bracketing also applied.
This hand colored lantern slide was made by the McIntosh Battery and Optical Company, Chicago, around 1890. It's based on the painting by Antoine-Jean Gros: "Napoleon's speech to his army before the battle of the pyramids", which took place on July 21st, 1798. I've read that the artist stretched history bit, in that the battle did not take place within sight of the pyramids, as the painting would lead you to believe. The second figure in the image is Louis Alexandre Berthier, Napoleon's Chief of Staff. Scanning to get a sharp image was a problem, with the thickness of the wooden frame creating soft focus, along with flare and reflections around the edge of the circular "window". I finally had to carefully remove the glass image "sandwich" from the frame (held in place with a brass retaining ring) run the scan, then remount it. Future lantern slide projects will involve shooting the image on a light table, which will probably give the same results but with far less bother. A fair amount of image "clean-up" was required to remove small blips and blemishes in the emulsion. Diameter of the glass plate image is 3 inches (7.6cm).

The original mill is believed to have been built around 1826, but a flood in November 1942 washed it away. It was rebuilt in 1943.
This is a Glass Slide showing the castle yard in Tynemouth.
The slide is from some time between the late 19th and early 20th century. It was taken by the Tynemouth Photographer M.Auty.
It would have been viewed through a Magic Lantern, an early type of image projector.

Date taken: November 3, 2017
Camera: Canon EOS 650D with Magic Lantern for focus stacking
Lens: SIGMA 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro
Philadelphia, PA, est. 1682; pop. 1,567,442
Marker:
"Siegmund Lubin. A motion picture pioneer, famed as the first movie mogul. In optical shop here in 1897, began his empire of six studios in five states. His technical genius and marketing skill did much to popularize the medium. Bankrupt by 1916; died in obscurity."
• Siegmund (Lubszynski) Lubin (1841-1923), aka "Sig," "Pop," "Professor Lubin" • born in Breslau, Germany • graduated Heidelberg University as an ophthalmologist • immigrated to the U.S., 1876 • married Annie Abrams, his landlady's eldest daughter • traveling the country by train with Annie, made a living selling eyeglasses at fairs • settled in Philadelphia, 1883 • opened an optical shop
• as his business grew, Lubin added branches in Baltimore, MD & Wilmington, DE • to capitalize on the popularity of magic lantern slide shows [illustration], he took up photography • created, sold & distributed slides from his stores • to differentiate his product & boost sales, he offered hand tinted slides • this painstaking work was performed almost exclusively by women, as was silent era film editing [photo] • a serial inventor, he owned numerous patents which he marketed effectively [magazine ad]
• in the early 1890s Lubin was enthralled by demonstrations of trailblazing moving image projectors such as Muybridge's Zoopraxiscope & C.F. Jenkins' Phantoscope • purchased a Jenkins camera in 1896, then shot his 1st film, a horse eating hay behind his house • video: Muybridge's Zoopraxiscope (4:04)
• enlisted the aid of Jenkins to construct his first Cineograph moving picture projector, the "Marvel" [illustration], which he manufactured, marketed & sold from 1897 to 1910 • the 1st prototype, built to minimize vibration, weighed about a ton
• Lubin motion picture projectors had a stereopticon slide projector built in [illustration] so that (hopefully) his movies could be added to a slide program
• Lubin continued making Magic Lantern song slide sets, which illustrated & promoted popular tunes • one of the most famous was In the Baggage Coach Coach Ahead (1896), a lachrymose ballad written by Gussie Lord Davis (1863-1899) • the Ohio-born Pullman porter was among the earliest successful black American artists, & 1st to gain fame on Tin Pan Alley as a composer of pop music • claimed the song was based on an actual event he had witnessed
• the slides were shot on a Baltimore & Ohio Pullman Palace train • the principal character, a bereaved widower traveling with his children, was played by Broadway actor Ed Dreiser (aka Ed Dresser), brother of author Theodore Dreiser • listen: In the Baggage Coach Ahead, sung by Smiley Bates —The Effect is Quite Startling, Joseph P. Eckhardt
• in March, 1897, the Veriscope Co. announced a delay in the release of its heavily publicized documentary, The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight • while exhibitors and the public clamored for the film, Lubin rushed to fill the vacuum with a fake Corbett-Fitzsimmons movie • hired a wrestler & a sheriff's office employee to play the boxers • used newspaper accounts of the fight as a script • shot the reenactment on a platform in his backyard …more, —The Orphan Film Symposium
• Lubin rushed his "fac simile" into theaters a week before the Veriscope's premier • typical reactions were negative: "…the fighters maul each other in unscientific fashion and the supposititious knockout in the fourteenth round is a palpable burlesque. Several patrons of the performance protested yesterday and were informed by the gentleman in charge that they were 'lobsters.' 'We advertise a facsimile of the fight,' he declared, 'and that's what we give. What do you expect for 10 cents, anyhow?'" —Phonoscope, June 1897
• "Several policemen were on hand but they could no more restrain the impatient and thoroughly exasperated crowd from rushing pell-mell at the box office than human hands could push back the Johnstown flood." —Little Rock Gazette
• Veriscope's Corbet-Fitzsimmons film, shot on March 17, premiered on May 31 • running over 100 minutes, it was the longest film released to date & is considered the world's 1st known feature film as well as the 1st widescreen film (63mm) • while contemporary women rarely if ever attended live boxing events, they showed up in droves to watch the two sweaty, semi-nude pugilists duke it out film video: Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (20:24)
• in 1899 Lubin opened his first theater, a small wooden building with an elaborate façade that he named Lubin's Cineograph • it was located on the midway of Philadelphia's 1899 National Export Exposition • built to showcase Lubin's song slides & movies, but was also another step in the vertical integration that would soon encompass movie production, distribution, exhibition & equipment manufacture [Lubin Films rooftop studio, 1899 photo]
• in 1902: Lubin founded the Lubin Manufacturing Co. & moved into distribution with his first film exchange • 1907: moved into the Lubin Building at 926 Market, announced "A New Film Every Week"; by Sep. were releasing 3 a week • 1908: joined Edison & other film manufacturers to create the Motion Picture Patents Company; after interviewing director D.W. Griffith, then a director of short films, decided not to hire him
• 1910: built "Lubinville," a state of the art studio at Indiana & 20th; expanded to Jacksonville, FL, Los Angeles & Coronado, CA • 1912: built Betzwood, a 350 acre studio complex in Montgomery Cty [studio photo] [studio tour] • 1913: production reached 5 releases per week • opened a studio in Los Angeles, employed then actor Henry King • 1914: rescued Lasky, DeMille & Goldfish aka (Goldwyn) by repairing the misaligned sprockets of The Squaw Man, the 1st feature film produced in Hollywood • video: Lubinville, PA (5:04)
• Betzwood's greatest success was the Toonerville Trolley series of films with 6'3 actor Wilna Hervey (1894-1979) in the role of "The Powerful Katrina" [photo]
• capitalizing on the popularity of minstrel shows, "race movies" such as Thomas Edison's Ten Pickaninnies (1904) & The Wooing and Wedding of a Coon (1905), featuring "genuine negro" actors or white actors in blackface, were moneymakers • Edison touched off a watermelon film craze with his 1896 Watermelon Eating Contest (0:19) , 1900 Watermelon Contest (2:03), & 1905 The Watermelon Patch (10:41) • Lubin, of course, produced similar films and others such as Coon Town Suffragettes, In Zululand & Mandy's Chicken Dinner
• in 1903 he played Simon Legree in his own version of Uncle Tom's Cabin, a week after the Thomas Edison version opened to large audiences • video: Edison's Uncle Tom's Cabin (19:03) —Before the Nickelodeon, Charles Musser
• S. Lubin 1905 catalogue: synopsis & photos of the Uncle Tom's Cabin • direct comparison of corresponding frames of the Edison & Lubin versions of the film • though Lubin was sued by Edison on multiple occasions, they later struck up a friendship • video: Sigmund Lubin: Film Pirate (5:04)
• Lubin became one of most prolific producers of films featuring blackface & black stereotypes & was the first producer to put black actors under a multi-picture contract • credited with bringing Rastus — a lazy black man with a yen for chicken & watermelon — & Sambo to the screen • produced thirty “darky fare” shorts marketed as The Colored Comedies between 1913-1915 • featured black vaudeville stars John Edwards (1868–1929) & Mattie Edwards (1866-1944) [photo] • Mattie would go on to make appearances in two films by the black director Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951) —Forgotten Legacy: The Rise and Fall of Movie King Siegmund Lubin, Sharon Joseph
If you want one of the best,
See a Lubin.
If you want your cares to rest,
See a Lubin.
If you've got a splitting head,
If you're feeling fit for bed,
Try a hearty laugh instead —
See a Lubin —Philadelphia Inquirer, 01 Jun, 1984
• Lubin was one of the first producers to commercialize movies • his mass marketing transformed them from novelty to business • by 1904, he was producing about one fiction feature a month • with all manner of "Life Motion Picture" venues" springing up throughout the U.S., he added theater supplies to his catalogue • offered $99 packages with everything necessary to open a movie exhibition business, e.g., his storefront theater package consisted of pressed metal theater fronts, posters, tickets, window cards & banners —The King of the Movies: Film Pioneer Siegmund Lubin by Joseph P. Eckhardt
• now a major American motion picture producer, Lubin stepped up his "remakes" of his competitors' hit movies and expanded his line of exhibitor start up packages: the Showman's Outfit, for example, included a 1905 Exposition Model Cineograph, & Stereopticon slide projector, 2 Cineophone films, 100' each and to accompany the movies, 2 Monarch records & — FREE OF CHARGE — and a Victor Talking Machine complete with horn —A Million and One Nights, Terry Ramsaye
• in 1904 Lubin introduced the Cineophone projector & films [ad] which offered primitive synchronization of image & sound • the films were similar to his magic lantern song slides but with movement & rudimentary lip sync:
"The films are taken together with phonograph records… Thus the illusion is so perfect as if the man on the screen was playing the piece. Every finger motion corresponds with the phonograph record, and the effect is quite startling" —Siegmund Lubin
• Banjo 'Lize, loosely based on a 1903 recording of phonographic theater by Len Spencer and Vess Ossman, was one of the five Cineophone titles Lubin advertised:
"You see the Black Face Comedian in Life-motion Pictures on the screen, and you hear him talk and sing at the same time." —Lubin ad, Silent Film Sound, Rick Altman
• in 1905 Lubin, said to be the 1st movie producer to realize the importance of owning theaters, opened new ones in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati & Reading • his chain eventually peaked at over 100 screens
• introduced a new Cineograph camera which was basically a Charles Pathé studio camera with a tachometer added • in the early days of life motion photography, many cameramen maintained a constant frame rate by turning the camera's crank to the tempo of music played in their heads • the persistent beat of the Anvil Chorus from Il trovatore made it a popular choice • to avoid distraction, some cinematographers would plug their ears when music was played on the set
• the Cineograph's tachometer added the ability to know rather than estimate the camera's operating speed • this provided an important competitive advantage because like fabric, films were priced by length • Lubin not only charged just 9 to 12 cents per foot vs. Edison's 15 cents, each foot of a Lubin film yielded more screen time than Edison's because it was shot — and therefore exhibited — at a slower speed • video: hand cranked projection of Lubin's 1912 film His Mistake (6:29)
• a 1909 government study estimated cost per finished foot of film to be about 6 cents with raw stock alone costing 3 cents, processing & overhead 1 cent • "manufacturing the negative," i.e., production, including talent, sets, props, crew, etc. cost 2 cents —Congressional Serial Set
• in 1907 filmmaker Lyman Howe's "Moving Pictures That Talk" opened in Baltimore at Ford's Opera House • talented actors & sound imitators behind the translucent screen added dialog and sound effects • the "talking picture," a huge hit, ran 4 wks.
• Lubin moved quickly to respond, most notably with a silent song film of Grace Powers & the Four Rosebuds performing the song, It's Great to be a Soldier Man• when the film was exhibited, Grace & her Rosebuds, concealed behind the translucent screen, performed the song • attempted to maintain synchronization with the image by following the lip movement on the screen • thus a genuine live performance was concealed behind a silent movie of the same performers
• in 1914 an explosion & fire in the film vault at Lubinville destroyed most of the Lubin Films negatives • WW I eliminated the company's foreign markets • Lubin closed his studios one by one • after creditors seized control in 1916, he returned to his work as an optician, died in 1923 • S. Lubin filmography
• this is also the site of one of the 1st photo studios in the U.S.
Marker:
"Robert Cornelius. This metallurgist and brass founder opened one of the world's first photographic studios here in the spring of 1840. His collaboration with chemist Paul Beck Goddard in successful experiments to reduce exposure times made it possible to use the camera in portraiture."

Okay, so here we have the Sony Nex-7 connected to a Canon TS-E 24mm lens using the Metabones converter.
It's also my 1st attempt at using focus stacking to produce a sharp image from back to front all frames shot at f/2.8 using my Canon EF 50mm prime f/1.8 MKII.
This was done after uploading the Magic Lantern firmware, which boots off the memory card and provides a massive amount of features including focus stacking, upto 9 frames of exposure bracketing and an intervalometer to name a few. (Thanks to 'AtilaTheHun' for wording me up on this).
This Crossroad is one of the busiest in Berlin: Potsdamer Platz. The first traffic light in Europe were erected here in 1924, you can see a rebuild light in the left lower third with the 3 light bulbs in horizontal order. During the Cold war the Berlin Wall separates this square. The three distinctive buildings (Kollhoff-Tower in the middle and Bahntower) were build after Germanys reunion until 1999.
This timelapse was created from 21:00 to 22:30 on a Friday evening. Filmed with an Canon 60D and Tokina 11-16/f2.8. The Time Lapse was created with Magic Lantern and fps override to 1fps, where I can create the 1 second duration shots directly to a video sequence.

For Sam Antonio Photography, I Prahin, Jeff S PhotoArt and those who loves vibrant HDRs, this is an attempt towards their direction.
There were people moving about in this capture so had to blend those inside very carefully having in mind that their image must have the correct tones as the main picture.

One of the longest exposures I have ever done on digital: 16 minutes.
The treasure hunt landed me a Petzval lens out of a Bausch & Lomb Magic Lantern projector, of 1910-1920 vintage. The Petzval type of design is popular for portraits, because of its 3-dimensional image quality. Very sharp at the center, but fuzzy and dark at the edges, thus makes the subject pop while leaving everything else soft and mellow.
It was a bit dusty, but nothing cannot be cleaned by a good doze of dish washing detergent. It does not have a lens board to mount on so I have to make do with two empty 4x5 film boxes and some generous application of Gaffe tape.
There is no aperture control, but fortunately there is a factory cut slit for so-called "waterhouse stops". On the other hand, who want to shoot this old lady stopped down? There is no shutter, so the black hat trick or a Packard Shutter is needed. Just a few weeks, my carpenter will finish my shutter box and I'm ready to go!
