The vast majority of the pics on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected.
All the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.comBlogger5054125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973258612769430282.post-77957794490913730932013-02-28T09:32:00.000-08:002013-02-28T09:32:08.006-08:00Index photo shoots on this weblog<br />

Again it's the "Judy" glasses with the extreme cylinder in the left lens: -4.00; c+9.00 o.<br />
The effect of the cylinder can be seen in the tilted image of the background.<br />
The right lens is +2.00; c+0.50 h. A very common Rx.<br />
The "h" stands for "horizontal", indicating that the axis of the cylinder is around 90 degrees.ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973258612769430282.post-87578129478978451342013-01-30T07:21:00.001-08:002013-01-30T07:21:25.642-08:00Extreme cylinder (2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is a lone crystal veil without a lady. The glasses are called "Judy" and were acquired in Germany.<br />
This and the following photos are posted by request.<br />
The left lens has a highly unusual Rx: -4.00; c+9.00 o.<br />
From this vantage point it may look like a prismatic correction but it's not that. It's the effect of the ultra strong cylinder.<br />
The axis is indicated with the "o", meaning either around 45 or around 135. I measure the strength of the lenses with a set of trial lenses so the axis of a cylinder cannot be given precisely.ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973258612769430282.post-55331796082375585172011-02-10T06:06:00.000-08:002011-03-08T06:06:44.113-08:00New weblog: More Ladies behind Crystal VeilThe present weblog is nearly full so I recently installed a new weblog. So far, it contains two antique portraits of early 1900's ladies in glasses, one from Ireland, the other from Amsterdam, and a recent photo shoot with a new model. Karen is the 22th Lady behind Crystal Veil.<br />For the new weblog, click <a href="http://moreladiesbehindcrystalveil.blogspot.com/">http://moreladiesbehindcrystalveil.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Text in the present weblog will be adjusted if additional information about the glasses becomes available. Recently, the Silhouette company kindly supplied me with the year of manufacturing of 13 Silhouette glasses in my collection. This enabled me to put a year on most of my 100 Silhouette glasses. There is also additional information about some 1980's glasses by Cazal, seen in photo shoots of Brigitta, Carla, Rachel, Astrid and Hiska.<br />Needless to say, all portraits in the present weblog will remain available.ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973258612769430282.post-28350164273934456162010-12-28T11:31:00.000-08:002010-12-28T11:37:28.124-08:00"Ladies behind Crystal Veil" on You TubeThe complete 28 minutes video of the catwalk and the opening of my exhibition "Ladies behind Crystal Veil" can now be seen on You Tube:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lentilux">http://www.youtube.com/user/lentilux</a><br /><br />The TV programme about the exhibition is also posted (RTV Oost, "En dan nog even dit!", Sept. 1st, 2010).

Your support has been invaluable for the continuity of the project.<br /><br />This weblog (over 177.000 page views) has now nearly reached its full capacity (99.5%). If more photos of the opening of the exhibition arrive, I will post them here.<br /><br />The work on the video of the exhibtion is nearly finished, except for the subtitles in English.<br />The video will be just over 28 minutes in duration. Eleven minutes introduction by Hiska and me (but with several fragments showing ten models in glasses), followed by a quarter of an hour covering the catwalk, and finishing with flowers and a brief word of thanks by Nel on behalf of the ten catwalk models.<br /><br />Nine catwalk models can be seen in my photo shoots in the present weblog: Nel, Irma, Brigitta, Mieke, Nanda, Hiska, Farishta, Astrid and Carla. Model nr 10, Mirjam, was sub for both Gita and Marleen who (at the last moment) could not make it to the opening.<br /><br />Some thirty to forty glasses can be seen in the video, including three pairs of myodiscs that were actually used during the catwalk, without GOC (Glasses Over Contacts).<br /><br />Viewers who followed my entire weblog will recognize some familiar faces in the audience. Four models (Conny, Tineke, Rachel and Charlotte) attended the opening without participating in the catwalk.<br /><br />Inserting the English subtitles is the final job, starting on Thursday. The video may be posted at You Tube. I will update here when the video is posted.<br /><br />It is my intention to start a new weblog soon. I will update here when the new weblog starts.ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973258612769430282.post-50641378130762777512010-11-05T13:11:00.000-07:002011-11-18T09:31:45.118-08:00Nel 361<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp9L0Ad8eLfhyeRSQJqXRqSpJS_LwoymymGkqQEsMwGwNXEOs-c-GqE9gM8nh6fKCiRD28kfqDr807qLA73NeJBdQ-naoj9QtykLawGqAx2f_iwXUebfwAia4T2YKquQl_NxVWr2fnnzw1/s1600/Nel+blue+046.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536161584552917378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp9L0Ad8eLfhyeRSQJqXRqSpJS_LwoymymGkqQEsMwGwNXEOs-c-GqE9gM8nh6fKCiRD28kfqDr807qLA73NeJBdQ-naoj9QtykLawGqAx2f_iwXUebfwAia4T2YKquQl_NxVWr2fnnzw1/s400/Nel+blue+046.jpg" style="cursor: hand; height: 400px; width: 300px;" /></a><br />
<br />
This beautiful portrait of Nel in her Zenka glasses<br />
concludes her new photo shoot which is in fact a<br />
series of four photo shoots.<br />
<br />
Dear Nel, you are hereby appointed First Lady of this<br />
weblog and also patron of the entire project.<br />
<br />
It all really started with you when we did a short<br />
photo shoot in glasses from my collection, just for fun.<br />
Another photo shoot followed after you changed your<br />
hair colour (by mistake :). All of a sudden I recognized<br />
the potential of using my entire glasses collection for<br />
photo shoots, but this implied a search for other models.<br />
<br />
I felt shy when I shared this idea but you reacted great.<br />
No suspicion, no jealousy. Immediately you suggested<br />
names of ladies in the know that might be interested.<br />
<br />
The ball started rolling. This website was opened and<br />
soon it included your third photo shoot featuring all the<br />
clips on your Zenka glasses. When the arrangements<br />
for the exposition were made you did the suggestion<br />
to add a catwalk to the opening of the exposition. The<br />
catwalk contributed to the success of the exposition and<br />
the media exposure. We really had a ball that day.<br />
<br />
During the catwalk you performed in a delightful, lively,<br />
self confident way. The same goes for your excellent<br />
modeling on this weblog. The funny thing is that you had<br />
some previous catwalk experience but you never thought<br />
of yourself in terms of a model. However, an open mind is<br />
a cornerstone under your character, so you gave it a try.<br />
<br />
The whole project would not have occurred to me if it had<br />
not been for you. The realisation of the project would have<br />
been so much slower and more difficult without your ideas<br />
and continuous support. So it's quite appropriate that this<br />
weblog started with you and now it ends with you as well.<br />
<br />
Dear Nel, I hope to be your photographer for umpteen<br />
years to come. Thank you so much for all the inspiration,<br />
encouragement, support - and many great photo shoots!ogolooghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05539873638437752956noreply@blogger.com0
