Tilting The Camera: Children playing with pets or favorite toys are naturally so charming that it is best to let them pose themselves. Simply watch what goes 70 on, and take a series of snapshots without making an important issue from a lower position than you would assume if your subject were an adult. This method is generally better than tilting the camera, lie-cause it will enable you to picture the child's features clearly. There will, however, be times when striking and unusual pictures can be made from the higher angle. (See the section on The Unusual I'iew-point in the next chapter.) When you wish to point the Camera downward, it's a good idea to minimize vertical lines in objects within the picture area, because tilting the Camera will make the lines converge in the picture.
Suggested exposure for pictures of toddlers (on bright days, and not in shade,
Kodak Verichrome or Plus-X Film, 1/100 second at f/7.9. f/S, or f/S.8; with Kodak Super-XX Film, 1/100 second at f/11.
Tilting pan: The rotary tilting pan Filter is similar in form to the Table filter, except the cloth is replaced by a series of annular sectors or compartments, each one of which is lined along its perforated bottom by an individual Filter cloth. After suspension is introduced to the compartments, filtration, deliquoring and washing take place under the required vacuum before cake discharge is achieved by a relatively complex tilting mechanism.
Architects, for traditional reasons, do not want to see normal perspective in verticals, and they have educated others who will be your customers to have the same taste. But you can give them what they want by shooting with a view camera. Actually, it is possible to shoot with any Camera and then bring the verticals into parallel by tilting the negative and the easel during the process of enlarging. |
