Looks like you fixed the pour.

I mold coated this one. On the one hand, mold coating (between two pieces of glass, one coated with rainx, with scotch tape for a spacer) is definately more consistant, but it also uses a lot of gelatin (which squishes out when you put the glass together) and when you peel the mold apart it leaves a pattern like a finger print on the gelatin.

This process does seem better suited for non-fluffy objects. They do appear to be getting better and more consistent.

Yea... holography doesn't like fluffy. The ideal object is heavy, ridgid, and matte white. This shell is pretty much perfect. Fluffy is more fun though. q-:

Fluffy is more fun. :)

Very nice. Definitely your best one so far.
Is the short depth of field typical?

Thanks!
The depth of field of a hologram is a different effect from a camera lens... Its actually a function of how wide a range of wavelengths the hologram is reflecting. Different wavelengths reconstruct an image at a slightly different location (and size). All wavelengths line up on the plane of the hologram, then the offset between wavelengths increases with the depth into the hologram. If the hologram only reflected a narrow range of wavelengths, the image would be sharp. You can get the same effect by looking at a hologram with narrow bandwith light source like a laser. This hologram reflects a wide range of wavelenths, so it gets blurry fast.
My holograms on silver halide emulsions are much narrower bandwidth, and thus much sharper.
I'm attempting to tune this process to not be so broad bandwidth, but then they are dimmer... So you can't win.

Sounds like a definite trade off.
Regardless, I am fascinated with it all.
