Harold Merklinger's site has some wonderful animations of the affects of LF focu s but only in a very limited and fixed number of situations. Does anyone know of a program that shows these sorts of animations but which can used interactively ? I suggested to Harold that he do it but couldn't get him interested. Also sear ched RIT, MIT, and so forth but no dice.
If not, some clever photographer/programmer should write one. I think it would b e a boon to all beginners and many others who harbor all sorts of misconceptions about how their view cameras actually work. My concept is to have a dialog box into which one types focal length, subject distance, f stop, front or rear focus , even angle of coverage or even a specific lens, etc. and then watch what happe ns!
A good project for a photographer with winter-induced cabin fever.
