On the walls of Alnwick Castle, the empty frame stands on the wall inviting you to use it to take an image of the distance.

Rear view, so you can see how the stand is supported.


Film Holder 6x4 picture frame Part 3

A fast fun way to display 6x4 prints from your home printer.
With film photography, particularly medium to large format, on the decline, items such as 5x4 film holders are available on eBay dirt cheap. I had a bunch left over from my Speed Graphic days and wondered what to do with them. Playing around with some scrap 6x4 prints I discovered that these holders were ideal 'frames' that took a 6x4 and stood up on any flat surface.
Essentially the trick is no more than making a print on 6x4 size paper or cutting down a larger print and then carefully feeding the print through the felt lined light trap entrance, where the film used to go and then trapping the end of the print in the film catch slot. If you have double sided holders then you will need the dark slide or another print to hold the reverse side catch slot closed. I have included a couple of other pictures in this set to illustrate the technique. Good cheap clean fun for yourself or as an arty present. I used my old Lisco brand film holders, if you dont have any ebay has loads for next to nothing.
