This publication provides little or no information about to that. now not a resource of notion for me.

Example text

The original transparency, off the same film strip as (a), was then scanned into digital form and retouched in Photoshop to produce print (b) for publication. 1 PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY ■ 34 The second category is the high resolution medium- and large-format equivalents, requiring a digital back to be attached to the image plane of the camera instead of a film back. While the quality is significantly higher, and enables the use of camera movements for architectural work, portability is correspondingly reduced as, ideally, these backs need to be connected to a computer, albeit a laptop, for viewing and storing the larger image files on location.

Of course, the larger the format, the higher the quality of the photographic image owing to the smaller amount of magnification needed for reproduction. In fact, a 10 in. × 8 in. camera produces images that can often be contact printed, not enlarged. This renders exceptional sharpness and a very rich tonal scale. With a film area four times larger than the 5 in. × 4 in. format, 10 in. × 8 in. transparencies have unmatched richness and depth. However, unless billboard-sized reproduction is a regular requirement, the extra quality is often unwarranted.

However, with experience, the photographer develops a contemplative patience and an awareness for likely suitable camera positions. Two devices are available to assist with these problems. First, it is possible for the image to be partially corrected in orientation using a reflex prism finder (which also does away with the black cloth and magnifier necessary for critical focusing), but it does further reduce the light level of the image on the focusing screen, which can be very weak, espe- cially when photographing interiors.
