- Description:
- Enlarged 2½ diameters from ½ plate negative, taken at 5 magnifications.
The subject is at a considerable height from the ground, and in photographing it the back was allowed to tilt with the camera. The resultant convergent distortion is slight, and our experiments have shown that the back should not be kept vertical, but that the correct position is at an angle between the full tilt and the vertical, but nearer the former. If the back be kept vertical divergent distortion is produced to a greater extent than convergent distortion when the back swings with the camera. - Exhibit type:
