Large Format Cameras
5 Steps to a Wide DOF
(make sure everything is set to 0 BEFORE ANY SHOOTING)
1. Focus on far distance (D2) by moving the camera accross the stand
2. Move the silver nob on the rhs of the camera until the black line meets the white dot. (Note - only move the silver part, not the whole thing)
3. Change he aperture on the lesn to whatever is indicated by the silver rim
4. Focus something in the foreground (D1) with the back nob
5. Now change turn the black knob, adding 2 stops to the aperture. i.e. if it was f/22, change this nob to f/11.
For a Building - rise the front part of the camera up
(Remember - if you rise or fall the back it distorts the image. The front usually doesn't)
