Paris seems so quiet and calm. I'd like to go there to visit the museums, sip a beverage and relax out on the patio at a cafe, and use the NeoLucida to draw. 🙂
As i’ve noticed my spine is not conducive to closely observing something at waist height and my legs are not sufficiently short or long enough to place the neolucida at eye level short of having collapsing scaffolding - If I may be so bold as to recommend an improvement, Perhaps a periscope that would allow top down viewing from a vertical stance . Find a solid edge you can index an attachment on existing models and allow people to stand with their backs straight and relaxed and the drawing surface at naval height adjustable up to an additional 6 inches to allow for arm length variation. Middle school engineering brain says 3 mirrors in a milk carton tube that is u shaped , and if you feel real fancy - do what DJI does for their FPV drone headsets and package a diopter adjustable + and - 3 to 5 . Heck the next generation of this whole Camera Lucida attachment process would be the ability to mount (in front of a digital camera’s lenses / through a DSLR’s viewfinder to allow for long range / perspective shifts beyond the contortions of the human body. ~In the event this product line development sells stupid money and brings in the photography crowd into the physical media rendering process- i ask for no large sums of money for I am a simple man . But funneling what would have been my earnings to my parents so they can retire , that would be pretty dope. Good luck bringing the old into the new, just learned about this thing less than an hour ago doom scrolling~
I am loving this video, due to the variety of uses that are not explained in the manufacturer's videos. I have 2 questions: 1. Can the neo lucida "enlarge" as well or does it only provide projections in one dimension? 2. You mentioned transferring an neo lucida onto canvas... How is that done?
Thanks for your comment! 1. The NeoLucida can make various scale drawings. The size of the drawing is based on the height of the eyepiece. Raise the eyepiece, and the ghost image you trace gets larger. If you clamp the NeoLucida onto your table, you can go to A3 size/US11x17. If you raise it on a higher shelf or tripod, you can go much bigger! 2. The process I used to transfer the drawing to canvas in our study of the Gustave Caillebotte drawing related to the evidence we found in the canvas as well as the drawing. Find more information here: th-cam.com/video/6EZ1H8_ISRA/w-d-xo.html I used rulers and simple drafting tools to scale up the geometry to the full size canvas. Hope this helps!
I modified a portable easel that can lay flat. I then use a drawing board as the "table." I bought it years ago, but it is similar to this: www.dickblick.com/products/blick-studio-aluminum-watercolor-field-easel-by-jullian/
What a poignant moment to connect with a place and a moment in history in such an immediate manner! Very touching!
Love the subject selection! So natural and ...unplanned! 🥰
Came across this by accident and I am over joyed. I have been wanting something like this in my life and I thank you for bringing it to us.

Quiet and calm. ahahahahhaa
@@NormanEschenfelder I've heard there's rioting and that it's unsafe. Guess that's to be taken with a grain of salt.
Congrats on your new TH-cam channel. Subscribe button smashed with all my might! I love how you continue to innovate in this space!
that is so cool. Caillebotte is one of my favorites.
Loved this!
Someone should officially mark that exact spot.
one more subscriber :-)
That is fantastic! I hope you are sponsored to investigate more works of art that used camera lucida.

My image is upside down- I know I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out.
Hi Pat, write us through our website NeoLucida.com/contact and tell us what model you are using and we can help you out.
Super cool! Oh where can i buy the full gear?? The drawing tripod ?
Which bit do I look through?

What are you using for the drawing table?
I modified a portable easel that can lay flat. I then use a drawing board as the "table." I bought it years ago, but it is similar to this: www.dickblick.com/products/blick-studio-aluminum-watercolor-field-easel-by-jullian/
lol this doesnt surpass the james gurney easel. i do not want that lousy posture on a 1.5 hr plein air session
