Negative Carriers - Glass carriers

Large glass carriers like 5"x7"offer the opportunity to insert a much smaller format negative like 120 in the center of the glass area and print a large black boarder around the image. However care must be taken with light scatter.	Mouse over to view roll over image
This is the technique I used for the When Light Turns to Dust series of images

However Glass Neg Carriers can cause Newtons rings

Concentric bands of colored light, sometimes seen around the areas where two transparent surfaces, such as two pieces of glass or two pieces of film (as in contact printing) are not quite in contact, are referred to as Newton's Rings. The rings are the result of interference and occur when the separation between surfaces is of the same order as the wavelength of light.
