Portrait - Technical Theory, camera used, method and technique.

One of the Cameras I am using for this project is a 5x4 field camera. I am using this for my black and white portrait shots of strangers, as my brief asks. Along with this equipment I am using a light meter reader to see what setting is best for the ISO and camera shutter speed. To help you see through the lens, especially on a bright day, there is a black cloth to put over your head and camera to block out the light allowing you to seed clearly, as he last picture demonstrates. Before I take the image I manually focus, set the ISO, the camera shutter speed and close the lens once I am ready to shoot. I then proceed to open the back section and place my dark slide in, which contains my film. After I am happy with everything and I have checked my settings I then proceed to remove a thin part that covers over the film. I then pull back the silver mechanism, which you can see on this first picture (just to the left of the square) the after having done this first I click back another smaller, silver mechanism to actually take the photo.
