Serious question to nature photogs: what percent of your work used no
perspective control? Now we all _know_ that it's easy to say "well a
little rise or tilt helps", but I am genuinely interested in finding how
much of the good work required nothing but straight-on shooting. Not
interested in chit-chatt of how controls work. We all know that stuff.


Yeah, I'm new to this but here's my $.02 --
A bit of back tilt is mainly what gets me by.
Never used the swings and only rarely the
rise/fall controls. Ie., using the controls
to optimize focus, and not really for
perspective control.

A little front shift or rise. Easily done with a Crown Graphic. I
think that's all the Edward Weston ever used.

Front shift & rise or a crown graphic?, if its the later I have serious
doubt.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918

Most LF photographers shoot everything at the same 90-degree angle, and
from eye level. It's sickening.

Could that possibly be because that's the normal view of the world for a
human being? Anyway, the exceptions make the difference.
