Share some LF photos...

F5.6, 15 sec, iso 3, slight shift, no swing.

The interesting thing is that this photo is a single shot 15sec exposure subject. I swear the lady (my working school teacher) is inside the frame from the start of the exposure till the end while not moving. I share the paper 12 / 12 with patrick and this piece is a test shot so we can see the result with developing together. I'm shock that it turn out that patrick told me that there is no person appearing when he is still agitating the tray as i look at the timer. So we decide to extend developing from 2min 15sec to 3min. Then we notice that the person appear and is transparent. This has never happened before and is my first time such things happened. Hope someone can explain it. (There is no double exposure!)

was she standing still for the entire 3 mins or moving around a bit doing her work on her desk? The chair is also empty so i assume she was standing .
the first thing that came to my mind was that she did not posed still enough for a proper capture on the +ve paper. Similar to those ghost like figures we capture in our long exposure night shots. what do u think?

Exposure is only 15sec. She is standing still for me to shoot.

oops..misread the ISO 3. why not try again to shoot her again... i am sure there is a simple logical explanation behind this.

A comparison of pro scanner and shoot from light box using DSLR


Scanner


Light Box + D90 55mm 3.5 micro

hi

i can't say which is better, but i find the grass at the scanner shot more grainy .. seems like dslr scan is not bad after all.. save scanner cost.. haha..

die, should not have come here.. this front tilt is very poisonous!!!!

now i know the power of a view camera... even a tilt shift lens can't do this..

i feel that LF camera will be very useful for subject isolation..

It depends on the available movement of the camera as well as the image circle of the lens. Monorail camera has more movement, but if you are using a lens with short Flange, it will also have restricted movement base on hardness of bellow as length of recessed board.

Just a general information

1. Front swing shift the focal whole plane, so they actually also shift where the light lands at the rear while not changing the prespective. As such, movement on it has big impact on coverage before you get vignetting.

2. 135 lens are designed to have much higher NM of light passing through the lens as compare to LF lens which also means better resolution on a small area. Big image circle mostly have either long focal length or small opening.

3. Those TS lens are actually great engineered lens and you should learn to understand that it is not easy to have that level of movement in a 135 lens with not compromise on resolution.

Hope someone else can rephrase it as I am lousy even when explaining this to my best.

I used to shoot straight on and do my tilting during the enlargement stage. ie. tilting the baseboard/easel to get the effect i want. you can do this with any format, no need for TS lens or a LF view camera. Just my 2 cents.

This method is generally good if your desired tilt is to throw areas out of focus, however to bring things in focus (eg front tilt), one still has to do on the camera.

Green vege white rice. As long as you know what you are doing and get the desire end effect that you initially visualise before pressing on the shutter, the method is all right.

Since I use a field camera, I call it Large format. Compare to crop APS, this is gigantic format.
