AAAHHHH! so the mystique begins to lift...except for rear movements

Mark,

Do yourself a great big favor and pick up the following two books:

1. Large Format Nature Photography by Jack Dykinga.
2. Using The View Camera by Larry Stone

The first book "shows" you a movement on the camera and illustrates the results of that movement with an actual picture.

The second book takes you through everything you need to know about using a view camera properly.

These books are staples in my library and I often times refer back to them for ideas of movements to use in different situations. They're not very expensive and will save you a lot of time, effort, and expense!

Cheers

Hi there, thanks for the heads-up.

I've done a quick search on Amazon - I could find the Jack Dykinga book and
there's a Steve Simmons book of the same title as the Larry Stone.

There's no match for Larry Stone though.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Darn it... I can never remember the EXACT name of Stone's book. You probably googled "Larry Stone" and found a lot of postings about him as a Sommelier! He's a fellow I met at a restaurant called Rubicon in SF... Sorry for the mix-up here. My memory IS the first thing to go!

Anyway, it's actually Jim Stone and not Larry Stone! My apologies! Here's a link:

I'm glad you found the Jack Dykinga book... that's probably going to be the better book for what your needs are at the moment. The Stone book is also excellent and will be a great reference book... the image that strikes home for me in the book is the one which illustrates how the planes pass through the subject matter.

Cheers
 
Get Steve Simmons' book - it's a great introducion. Leslie Strobel's book is complete - too complete for anyone without a university degree in mathematics!
