 Make it a real point, however, to include these minor elements, unless the picture Camera he is a close-up portrait or a straight record. If the picture Camera he features a group of trees, a second group or other objects a little farther away will help toward balance. In picturing such subjects as waterfalls it is often a help, rather than a hindrance, to include people who may be in the field of view. They should, however, look at the scene-not at the camera-and they should be at least twenty-five feet from the camera.
This trick is never as satisfactory as getting the picture Camera he the way you (or your clients) want it on the negative, once and for all, at the time of shooting.Besides, the view Camera has other advantages which are than 4 x 5. I have shot thousands of picture Camera hes with an 8 x 10, and I can tell you that wrestling the dead weight of Camera and tripod makes every job fall into the category of hard labor. Also important is that the cost of everything, camera, holders, tripod, lenses and film, goes up when you go into 8 x 10.
All things considered, the best Camera for shooting stock pictures around farms is a 4 x 5 Graflex Super D. The stock picture Camera he agencies have a preference for 4 x 5 negatives, and the notable tendency of animals to move around rather than to pose quietly makes a reflex Camera the most practical device for shooting them.
