thighslapper Posted October 12, 2014 Share #21 Posted October 12, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Handheld is a nice way to shoot interiors. Tripod is a mess. If you go low in shutter speed, use a monopod and lean against a wall or something. But you can move better around and get into the small corners, up high and down low, with a handheld or monopod camera. ..... I agree ...... and with W/A like the WATE you can handhold down to 1/8 or even 1/4 sec with care..... and as long as you follow Thorstens tips and are not printing huge you can fix most of the remaining distortion in LR invisibly. I often use my Voigt 12/5.6 with this deliberately in mind ...... you have loads of extra image you can lose with perspective correction in post and still keep all the main subject ...... It all depends now finicky you want to be about the end results ....... if it's perfection and minimal post-processing then Jaap is correct ........ if you want images with character and spontaneity then Thorstens route is the one .....

Beresford Posted December 15, 2014 Share #25 Posted December 15, 2014 I used to use medium format as well as large format for interior shots. But now I find the weight too much. And the cost of running a Leica is so much smaller. Film and processing were a huge problem. A useful tip when shooting with very wide lenses is if you are not vertical then go way off the level. Our eyes are mounted on a gimbal of sorts (aka the neck) so it is natural for us to look up and down. Having said that I usually use a spirit level. The other advantage of a Leica is that it is a doddle to carry when climbing ladders and scaffolding. A couple of lenses in one's pocket along with a tabletop tripod seems to get most shots. Time to put the 'blad on eBay, I think. Now, what about a MM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted December 18, 2014 Share #26 Posted December 18, 2014 The key is understanding the space and what your client wants, establishing the best point of view to communicate it, then arranging the furniture, propping, and lighting to enhance it. Either the camera can provide the resolution and technical qualities your client requires or it can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
