Camera brings ‘unprecedented clarity’ to restoration of historic artworks | Art

Scientists have developed technology that will revolutionize the restoration of historic works of art by allowing conservators to identify and remove aging varnish with total accuracy. A team at King’s College London’s department of physics has harnessed the power of fluorescence to bring “unprecedented clarity” to the conservation process, said Prof Klaus Suhling. A revolutionary camera will allow experts to distinguish between varnish and other components in an artwork, such as paints and binders. “The conservation of paintings is vital to protect our cultural heritage for generations to come,” said Suhling. “Most paintings created before the late 19th century have…Continue Reading

He is still stuck and still lost and still alienated from himself. “The body is reborn,” wrote the critic David Sterritt in his 2013 essay on the film, “but the spirit stays dead.” In desperation, Hamilton/Wilson returns to the nameless — although not faceless — the company that gave him his new life and pleaded for a second secondchance. It obliges, in a way, to bring the film to its shocking, sobering conclusion. Somewhat unusual among Hollywood directors of the time, Frankenheimer was, noted Sterritt, preoccupied with the darker side of the 1960s: “the sour aftertaste…Continue Reading

Ricoh G900 review | DigitalCamera World

It’s not too often you find cameras boasting specific modes for, say, firefighting, but the Ricoh G900 does. That’s because it’s a camera designed for industrial use and comes with added protection for chemicals. That might be a niche use for the G900, but if you happen to work in the construction industry or in a manufacturing factory where you need to take pictures often, your go-to would be the G900.
