Someone who hasn’t seen the Bay Bridge at night wouldn’t know that. I have found that the 2 second timer is the perfect tool for that job. Set the camera down somewhere sturdy and press the shutter. 2 seconds is enough time that any jitters from pressing the shutter button settle down. Even if the surface is rounded and you need to keep a grip on the camera, using the 2 second timer lets you press and then grasp firmly in a hold that you're less likely to twitch in.

 Still kicking myself for not pulling the focus closer. At f22, I thought I had enough, but clearly didn't.

That I know I didn't do  . It was very late and very cold, but the camera was set up(reasonably) straight.

there's an obvious tilt, your focal plane cuts right through the crane

Hmm. I see your point (and also why I couldn't make sense of the focus in this). Dark cloth shifted the back, maybe? Just seems like it would have to be a fairly extreme movement.

a small amount of front tilt can radically affect focus

Well, that'll teach me to pay more attention. Meanwhile, this is simpler.  (Finally have time to get stuff developed and scanned!)

ansel autisms posted:a small amount of front tilt can radically affect focus Yeah, this. The wider your lens is and the further away your subject is, the more a small amount of tilt will affect your focus. Read up on the Scheimpflug principle and if you feel like it, do the math for some real-world examples. SMERSH Mouth posted:Did you take this with an Intrepid? The biggest tell for me that the people who made the Intrepid designed their camera without ever having used a LF camera made by somebody else is that there aren't even zeroing marks for any of the movements, much less detents.

Just seems like it would have to be a fairly extreme movement. But the question is, why is the entire road from foreground to background out of focus? That looks like it would be pretty obvious on the ground glass, even without a loupe.

Seconding this. Also if you can I'd go back and re-take it. That looks like a lovely scene/shot that is worth re-doing properly.

I promised myself I wouldn't make any excuses, but this was after a 14 hour work day. I walked past the spot on my way home, did a test shot on the phone and decided I needed to shoot it. Went back home, backed up my gear (Camera was already on tripod, film was loaded) and got back there at 1am. It was -10C, which is the coldest I've experienced in many years. I'll admit that I did not check the focus on the road, but instead focused (hah!) on the buildings and cranes. Re-shooting it is doable, but the snow is long gone (It should still work without it)...however, getting the misty air may be tricky without having it raining too much. There's a bunch of other alleyways that I want to shoot as well.

Well hopefully you learned a lesson to always check the final focus before sliding in the film.

Actually I'm thinking of going there with some black and white and make sure I got the technical bits dialed.

I’ve ruined so many shots by loving up the focus. I’m a bit short-sighted which can make it really hard to tell when I’m peering through the viewfinder. I somewhat recently got glasses which kind of help but they make it awkward to hold a camera right up in my face. I’m sure some of you here must also have the same problem, do you get around it with contacts or what? I haven’t tried them yet myself because they sound like a giant hassle but I’d love to be able to see focus properly and not have to rely on auto focus and trying to guess the appropriate aperture so much

Unless I'm shooting my Horseman I just wear contacts, and before my Minolta exploded I used a correcting eyepiece. I recommend either or if you don't want to fight with your glasses and want to shoot seriously.

jarlywarly posted:Great photo, for me the mood is somewhat affected by the Coronation Street LP Haha. I know what you mean. I was being cheeky and popped my camera in the doorway to take the photo. The owner wanted to know what I was doing so I showed him the shot and he said ‘Oh yeah that’s fine. Just don’t want you to make the place look messy’.  ok dude.
