Combined The Camera With Various: Photography's unique ability to remember and to present images side by side or in sequence has enabled scientists to compare phenomena occurring moments or years apart, in the same place or at opposite ends of the universe.
Almost from the birth of photography about 130 years ago, photographic technicians have combined the Camera with various the Camera with various scientific instruments. The microscope, laryngoscope, and cystoscope, for example, have shared their discoveries with the recording abilities of the camera. As science began to make use of electron energy, photography made visible the previously unseen reactions between atomic particles.Containing the New Optical Laws of the Camera Obscura or Daguerreotype, demonstrated that converging perpendiculars of the Camera image were indeed mathematically correct and concluded: "Art has always represented objects geometrically, or as they cannot be seen in the perpendicular and visually, or as they can be seen in the horizontal direction."3 But his findings were ignored. Indeed, amateurs were warned in manuals and instruction books never to tip the camera. Many hand cameras were even equipped with levels to assure the viewer that he was holding the Camera horizontally.
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. |
