Schwartz Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:32:20 +0000 http://benneh.net/blog/?p=201#comment-2114 I don´t know what a dork means, but I do know what using an 8x10 camera means: a very big pleasure. Probably we are only a few now, and each day material is more difficult to get, especially in the Canary Islands, where I live (I am probably the only dork around). But moving with my Philips in the islands cannot be compared to any other photographic pleasure. Can anyone tell me about places in Internet where to learn new things in this format, the Sheimpflug rule in particular? Thank you.

With hindsight (and enough cash) I'd have bought a field camera, but sinars are much easier to source it seems. Afraid not, that’s what the large laptop bag gets used for.

I divide the case vertically into 2 main sections, the back and rail sections go in one and the standards in the other - plenty of padding to separate everything. I invert the lift out padded tray to act as a lid, works surprisingly well. A 1440 with padded dividers.

Really helps that the composition by there being a power pole on the ground glass. I really like the first photo included this post.
