..hello..
..long time reader, seldom poster here..
..its time i need your help..:-)..
..me and a good friend of mine use to go out with our chamonix f1s to do some landscapes..
..we think we more or less know what we are doing after having done our "using the view camera"- and "the camera"-lessons..:-)..
..as these are the first landscapes taken with the chamonix after having done some with a speed graphic there are things that occur that havent occured with the speeds and we dont know why..so i assume there is some error in thinking, but lets see..
..photo #1:
..this picture had been taken with a nikkor 5.6/150mm focused with an open aperture at the flowers in front of the trees then closed down to about f22..before focusing the front standard had been tilted forward and the rear standard had been tilted backwards..before taking the shot shapness in the desired area was controlled by the chamonix reflex viewer..
..why is the focal plane behind the flowers and also why is the focal plane so thin despite f22 or maybe even smaller ?
..photo #2:
..this picture had been focussed at the rocks in front of the tree with some front tilt to get the tree into sharpness also..
..sharpness had been controlled via a dark cloth and aperture was closed down to about f32 after controlling sharpness wide open..
..lens was a nikkor f8/90mm..no rear movement..
..why is the rock not sharp..?..:-)..
..photo #3:
..the most tricky of all the photos for us..
..taken with the f8/90mm nikkor also..
..front tilt, a little bit of front fall, f32, sharpness controlled via darkcloth, focused right into the middle of the valley..no rear movement..
..now the rocks in the foreground are sharp, the valley itself is not, but the upper left corner is sharp indeed..:-)..
..would we need to close down the aperture even more..?
..do the lenses have some focus shift..?..(so much focus shift..???)..
..is there some error in thinking when applying rear movements..?
..anyway..
..i am sure there are things we havent thought of..
..please let me know what your ideas are..
..any input highly appreciated..
..thx in advance, erik..
