Even with the TS-E lenses they lack some important movements as I often want to shift the lens up to down and right or left but can only do one of these movements when the lens is directly attached to the camera where the Arca and Cambo mini view cameras solve this problem.

HI Gazgas, if you shift up on the Canon TS-E and then rotate 45 degrees, you get similar to a view camera.

Yeah, that is a drag.  Sometimes you have everything lined up and just want a slight change in one direction.  This is where view cameras shine over tilt/shift lenses.  Also, Canon has the best, most flexible ones, but still.. if I have a diagonal shift on (shift + rise) I can't get a perfectly horizontal swing.  Truly independent movements are key.

And then there's the opposite end of the spectrum...  A7r with Canon 17-40 zoom.  No movements at all, heh.  From a couple weeks ago in New York.

Chris,

How are you finding the 'centering' of the A7r?
Is it time consuming, when you're switching between landscape and portrait?
Cheers

Great image.  By the view, I guess this was in Long Island City?

Nice Craig. 

Although, I am trying to figure out how you exactly wash yourself, or relieve yourself, in that first triangle shaped trailer.  ;D

Must think of it as a tent on wheels that has hard sides.  The shower/toilet is tight to be sure but most people camping in a campground use the park facilities.

I've been shooting these things for almost three decades and never have owned one.  We have always preferred a tent.  However I'm almost too old for the tent now :)

Terrific images. That is a dream I have I want to realize when I retire from my current job.

How come that some look like synthetic images made by computer rendering or however it is called ?

Wow, you got a lot out of that 17-40.  Perfect exposure of the skyline.  Makes the image.  And not single point perspective ;)

Not sure, I guess it's my post, but one of my net friends from Germany does 3d modeling and he says the same thing. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing...

Thanks Chris.  The weather made shooting the covers tough.  One good thing....the sun sets early in the winter.  Doing those in the summer is a late night job.  You can wear shorts and flip flops instead of a down coat and heavy gloves....so that's a plus.

Thanks Craig.  I have been trying to discuss more of the process, or at least show it.  Part of my client education campaign. 

Well anyway, in the spirit of keeping it loose and switching it up every now and then, here is another blog I posted today on personal work.  Keeping It Loose With Personal Work

Joe,
I really like that in your blog, you present a sequential series of images that show how you "built" the lighting in the final image.  Very impressive, smart demonstration of your value added as a skilled pro.

Thank you Brad.  It actually has been helping a lot when talking to perspective clients.  When they ask why do you need lighting equipment or why does it take so long to set up an image, I can direct them to those posts while on the phone.

Slobodan,

I like the use of the mirror.  Was the exterior done in the early morning?
