>>4339159You missed nearly every point I'm making in context to what I'm learning to do right now.
The learning curve is about understanding and familiarizing myself with more difficult constraints and a system that is overall more difficult to work with. Another thing is going back to film from all the wetplate work I did. I got a really good feel for lighting/exposing wetplates and it's very different from film.
If you have an 8x10 or a 4x5 camera go set your bellows to twice or more the distance of your lenses focal distance and try taking a still life. Just try it. You'll see...
