Best Camera For Shooting: The best Camera for shooting windows is a 4 x 5 view, equipped with a full set of lenses (always use the longest focal length lens which your choice of viewpoint will permit), but almost any Camera with a sharp lens can be made to suffice. I know of a young woman photographer who makes a steady income shooting window displays with a Rolleiflex; store managers think her pictures are terrific.
All things considered, the best Camera for shooting stock pictures around farms is a 4 x 5 Graflex Super D. The stock picture agencies have a preference for 4 x 5 negatives, and the notable tendency of animals to move around rather than to pose quietly makes a reflex Camera the most practical device for shooting them.
For the mechanics of selling to stock picture agencies, including where and how to submit, see Chapter .
This trick is never as satisfactory as getting the picture the way you (or your clients) want it on the negative, once and for all, at the time of shooting.Besides, the view Camera has other advantages which are than 4 x 5. I have shot thousands of pictures with an 8 x 10, and I can tell you that wrestling the dead weight of Camera and tripod makes every job fall into the category of hard labor. Also important is that the cost of everything, camera, holders, tripod, lenses and film, goes up when you go into 8 x 10. |
