Introduction
The 4x5 View Camera - Perspective Control
We have looked at the basic actions of the 4x5 View Camera. Unlike the conventional digital cameras used today, the view camera allows the photographer controls over the placement and perspective created by the optical lens. By allowing the photographer to move the focal plane and the film plane of the camera, the photographer can alter the perspective and view the lens projects on the film.
Task
The View Camera Actions
Using the internet as a resource, research the following view camera actions.
- Rise, Fall, and Shift with the Rear Standard
- Rise, Fall, and Shift with the Front Standard
- Tilt and Swing with the Rear Standard
- Tilt and Swing with the Front Standard
Produce either a WORD.doc or a PowerPoint.ppt presentation outlining the actions and effect these movements have when applied to both the rear and front standards of the view camera. Compare and contrast the effects of tilting and shifting the front versus the rear standards.
