  Ansel Adams Educator's Guide, The View Camera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Deftly setting up his tripod and camera, he then focused quickly under a dark cloth, prepared his lens and shutter settings, and took the picture in the fading light at the moment the sun was setting and lighting a row of adobe houses and a cemetery in the foreground.
A view camera might best be described as a large box with a lens on one end, a place for a film holder on the other end, and a long, accordion-like bellows in between that can be collapsed or expanded to bring the subject into focus.
The view camera gives the photographer great control because both the front standard, which supports the lens, and the rear standard, which supports the film, are moveable and can be adjusted to bring the foreground and background of the subject into sharp focus.

 What Camera Should I Buy?
View cameras are the most flexible cameras, usually made from a basic design that has not changed for over 100 years.
A view camera is fundamentally a light-tight box with a slot at one end for a lens and a slot at the other for the film.
Another advantage of having used a view camera is that it gives you an understanding of perspective.

 Photographing With The View Camera
In order to view and focus the image, the photographer pulls a sheet (the dark cloth, traditionally white on one side and fl on the other) over his or her head to block out extraneous light.
One simple answer is that the view camera is capable of making photographs on large pieces of film, which means a tremendous amount of detail is available for making the final print.
The 4x5 view camera captures pictures on 4"x5" film sheets with more than thirteen times the area (and thus thirteen times the detail) of a 35mm camera.

Other items which go along with the view camera: a tripod of the very big kind is a must; a lenshood is nice, and so is a host of other things that will make life a lot easier.
More or less, this camera is the same as an SLR but without the mirrors, and the shutter in the front and not in the back of the camera.
The view camera does not need that, provided your bellows are long enough and the rail to support your camera is long enough.

 Tom's Hardware Guide Networking: LAN Camera Technology Offers A New View - LAN Camera Technology Offers New View   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
In order to have an effective security system, what is really needed is a camera that doesn't have to be attached to a computer, such as a camera that can be mounted to the ceiling of the room it is watching.
If the camera is detached from the computer, the camera will provide a 'Web server to stream' video, so you will be able to view all that it captures.
Imagine being able to hide one of these cameras in your house to monitor how well your babysitter is interacting with your children, or (using a weatherproof housing) placing a camera outside to keep an eye on your children while they are in the backyard.

 A World View Camera
A nice touch is the fact that the camera is rarely in the same place for very long - the scientists tend to move the camera around and provide some wonderful stories behind each of the views.
But with the cameras as small as they are, it was only a matter of time before they were moved indoors to see what the people were doing inside.
Although both cameras are supposed to be live views, it appears as if only the one is live at all times with the second offering only recently captured shots.

 View Camera Focus
If the camera is initially focused near infinity, the plane of sharp focus rotates very rapidly towards a near-horizontal position far below the camera and then moves slowly upwards, drawing closer to the camera.
A second version of the Principles of View Camera Focus may be useful for those who have Acrobat Reader 6 or the full version of Acrobat 5.
The suggection is that it's easier to find the tilt or swing required at the camera back (a true statement) so one should then be able to transfer that swing or tilt to the front standard and reset the back to it's original position.

 American Experience | Ansel Adams | Special Features
Unlike a standard 35mm camera, the lens and film plane of a view camera are adjustable.
The film plane is the place within the camera where the ground glass and a sheet of film alternately sit.
When a film holder is inserted in the camera, it displaces the ground glass, holding a sheet of film at the film plane -- in the same position the ground glass occupied during focusing.

 PSPCS: The Deardorff View Camera
No doubt influenced by the English Folding Field camera design of the 1870s Laben came up with a view camera that bears an uncanny resemblance to the 8 x 10 Deardorff of the 1980s.
Those first cameras were self casing and had rear swing and tilt, triple extension bed, front tilt and a rising panel so the photographer could change the image position without refocusing or changing the tilt setting.
He saw a need for a camera that did all the functions of those modified cameras he had worked on earlier as a repairman.

 Large format photography: how to focus the view camera
We all know that when a rigid camera is focused, all the objects which are at a same perpendicular distance from the film plane can be brought in focus at a time.
In a view camera, the geometric relationship between the film plane (the back standard) and the lens plane (the front standard) can be adjusted.
In camera advertisements they often show off the camera with a 45 degree tilt, however often, except for macro work, a small amount of tilt (5 to 10 degrees) will be sufficient.

 The dim view of camera phones
The number of people who own camera phones in the United States -- now 8 million -- is expected to grow to 23 million by the end of the year, according to Alfieri's firm.
At Eli Lilly and Co., using any kind of camera to take pictures of sensitive company information would be a violation of corporate policy, though the drugmaker hasn't made any changes to its employee handbook to specifically address camera phones, said Ed Sagebiel, a spokesman for the Indianapolis-based company.
A strict ban on camera phones in the workplace seems harsh to Ralph Shelburne, who relies solely on his cell phone as his main source of communication.
