Brightfield



These images were shot with a technique which is known as brightfield, this is where the object is lit from the rear. These glasses as well as the ones below were shot using a 4 x 5 view camera ( like in the westerns were the photographer is under a black cloth behind the camera, and when he captures the image it is upside down on the camera's ground glass). I never imagined I would use photography equipment that had been used in the "old days" (lol).

Neat... I never that I would use such equipment either and after this class I hope I don't have to use it often.
