Any LF aerial photographers?

[dinora_de_rivera]

<p>Are there any photographers who shoot with large-format cameras whose websites, portfolios, galleries, images and books, including the members of this forum, can be found online?</p>

<p>I am sorry. I did not read the title carefully. I do not do ANY areal photography.</p>

<p>In dwefense, the body of the OP does not refer to aerial photograpohy.</p>

<p>Apologies,</p>

Yes, but I dont have work online at this time. I mostly shoot with Hasselblad and

some Crown Graphic. About 80%/20% medium to large format. I havent done any

projects in about a year though. Wny questions, or just looking for samples?

<p>I'd be interested too Michael if you've got experience, how difficult is it? (I mean with a 4x5, not the Hasselblad). I'm assuming you would have to shoot out of an open door and presumably the longer shutter speeds are a problem? Burtynsky obviously does it and I have wondered about the practicalities.</p>

<p>Large format aerial cameras were made in the past. All were rigid. Most were roll film. They come up on ebay gfrom time to time.</p>

<p>Today, I would think that something from Fotoman or one of thge MF pnoramic outfits would do the job.</p>

<p>When the Wanderlust TravelWide comes out it would also be a possability.</p>

<p>you wouldn't have long shutter speeds with aerial photography<br>

your shutter speed has to be fast enough to make the ground crisp for say the plane flying at 90mph at 3,000ft elevation or what not. I recall that in my surveying photogrammetry text from college years ago (civil engineering)</p>

<p>I think the planes that are set up for that have a window/opening out the bottom of the plane, you'd be laying prone to shoot. or helicopter. Most of my aerial photog these days is from city parking garages.</p>
