You gotta have a ladder
Photograph of Alec Soth, photographer unknown
I got a crazy good deal on a tripod that is about 7 feet tall. I attached my camera and extended it all the way up and realized that it’s more than a foot over my head. So I got myself one of these.
I have learned about large format photography through books and the web, but mostly through trial-and-error. Is this something everyone else already knows? Obviously our friend Mr. Soth has a clue.
