vii 1994 issue of Shutterbug. There is an important caveat, however. I was never happy with some of the technical terms I used in that article and have struggled to find new language. Specifically, in the Shutterbug article I used the term “bore sight’ to describe an important (vector) direction for view cameras. Those words better describe a different direction. The term derives from fire arms where the bore sight is simply established by by looking down the bore of the gun, from breech to muzzle. The camera equivalent is probably looking through the center of the lens with one’s eye positioned in the geometric center of the ground view camera glass screen. To actually do this would, of course require a hole in the ground glass and the removal of the lens components leaving only the diaphragm. At the risk of confusing the readers of that earlier article, I have changed the meaning of “bore sight” to mean precisely what I have just described. The original direction I used that term for, I have relabeled the “principal axis” of the camera. Please note that this is the principal axis of the camera, not the lens. This principal axis is established primarily by the orientation of the film, or electronic image sensor. It is the principal axis that determines the apparent perspective of the image. I am told that, in the usual language of perspective, what I am calling the principal axis is normally termed “the line of vision”. For a ‘normal’ camera, that is for a camera that has its lens axis perpendicular to the film and centered on the image, the principal axis of the camera, the axis of the lens and the bore sight all coincide. This coincidence of important axes simplifies the associated optical physics considerably. This coincidence is an assumption that underlies nearly all descriptions of photographic optics that I have seen. For view cameras, where it cannot be assumed that these three axes coincide, the mathematics unfortunately gets rather complex. Yet the fundamental principles are still relatively simple, and are within the grasp of all of us to understand. Essentially, the Scheimpflug rule and the hinge rule explain everything; add one extra consideration and depth-of-field is explained also. In order to assist people visualize the Scheimpflug and hinge rules, I generated a few animated computer “movie” files. These files can be found on my web site: http://www.trenholm.org/hmmerk/HMbook18.html. I would also like to acknowledge that in spite of my best intent, I have realized that I did make one or two unintended mathematical approximations (in both books) concerning depth of field and perhaps should

    Large format Camera Movements and Operation Presented by N. David king 619-276-3225 © N. David King All rights Reserved Large Format Camera Movements and Operations Page 1 COURSE CURRICULA he Large format camera, in “View” and “Field” versions, are the T primary tool for many of the commercial/professional photographic disciplines. Especially for product, advertising, illustration, and high-end fashion and portraiture work, as well as for landscape and nature photography this workhorse camera is the tool selected whenever the ultimate in quality is required. This course will teach the rudiments of using this tool to control and enhance the image. Why Large Format Large format cameras shooting a negative in the 4”x 5” size and larger are cumbersome to carry and slow to set up. So why would a working photographer with deadlines to meet, bother? The answer is in the resulting image quality and image control. No other photographic tool, including digital post acquisition image manipulation, provides the degree of control and quality available in this format. Even where the image will be manipulated after acquisition by traditional airbrushing, darkroom techniques, or via digital editing, the old rule of thumb still applies: the better the original image, the better the results will be. Course Objectives After successfully completing this course. The student will be able to set up and operate a large format camera and use its optical and film plane movements to control the distortion and depth of field of their photographs. Course Elements The complete course will contain: 1. An instructor-led lecture and demonstration, 2.

  • TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh
    TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh My! You’ve entered the deep dark tunnel of creating a new thing…you can’t see the light of day… Some of my colleagues can tell you that I am NOT pleasant to be around when I am in the creative video-making tunnel and I feel like none of the footage I have is working the way I want it to, and I can’t seem to fix even the tiniest thing, and I’m convinced all of my work is garbage and it’s never going to work out right and… WOW. Okay deep breaths. I think it’s time to step away from the expensive equipment and go have a piece of cake…I’ll be back… Editing, for me at least, is the hardest, but also most creatively fulfilling part of the video-making process. I have such a love/hate relationship with editing because its where I start to see all the things I messed up in the planning and filming process. But it’s ALSO where - when I let it - my creativity pulls me in directions that are BETTER than I planned. Most of my best videos were okay/mediocre in the planning and filming stages, but became something special during the editing process. So, how the heck do you do it? There are lots of ways to edit, many different styles, formats and techniques you can learn. But for me at least, it comes down to being playful and open to the creative process. This is the time to release your curious and playful inner child.

VIEW CAMERA LENSES ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS, WIDE ANGLE, NORMAL AND TELEPHOTO WIDE ANGLES LENSES WOULD BE FROM 38MM-120MM FOCAL LENGTHS FROM 135-240 WOULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL TELEPHOTOS COULD RANGE FROM 270MM-720MM FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES THE FOCAL LENGTHS DISCUSSED ARE FOR 4X5” FORMAT Image circle- The black lines are the lens with no tilt and the red lines show the change in lens coverage with the lens tilted. If you look at the film plane, you can see that the tilted lens does not cover the film plane, the image circle of the lens is too small with a tilt applied to the camera.

  • Imovie Handout
    Using iMovie iMovie is a video editing program that is available on Apple computers. It allows you to create and edit movies with titling and effects, so that you can export them to the Web. iMovie imports video from DV cameras. It can also import other video files, like mpeg or mov and formats from smartphones. The new version can import most video formats, but if you run into trouble, you can try a video converter like MPEG Streamclip to get the files in a format that iMovie will accept. You can import a digital clip as shown below. Most of your footage will be from a digital source. To import, you simply choose the Import button at the top of the screen. You can name the event (File, New Event), so you can organize your files. Once you have the event, you can simply drag from the finder to add the files or choose File, Import Media. Video Editing 1. Now you have several clips captured in your event library. You need to create a New Movie Project to work in. In the Projects tab, choose Create New. iMovie saves as you go, but it will later prompt you to save the project. 2. Now the screen is separated into three parts. There is the clip window and viewer at the top and the timeline at the bottom. You must move clips into the timeline to have them as part of your movie. 3. To select an entire clip, double-click. Put the playhead anywhere in the clip and hit the space bar to play.

Visual homing with a pan-tilt based stereo camera Paramesh Nirmal and Damian M. Lyons Department of Computer Science, Fordham University, Bronx, NY 10458 ABSTRACT Visual homing is a navigation method based on comparing a stored image of the goal location and the current image (current view) to determine how to navigate to the goal location. It is theorized that insects, such as ants and bees, employ visual homing methods to return to their nest [1]. Visual homing has been applied to autonomous robot platforms using two main approaches: holistic and feature-based. Both methods aim at determining distance and direction to the goal location. Navigational algorithms using Scale Invariant Feature Transforms (SIFT) have gained great popularity in the recent years due to the robustness of the feature operator. Churchill and Vardy [2] have developed a visual homing method using scale change information (Homing in Scale Space, HiSS) from SIFT.
