movable standards
Fotografia, którą prezentujemy powyżej, została wykonana przy pomocy aparatu wielkoformatowego. Jego charakterystyczną cechą jest niesztywna konstrukcja. Zamocowany na płytce obiektyw (przedni portal) oraz znajdująca się na końcu kasetka na film (tylny portal), połączone są ze sobą elastycznym, rozciągliwym miechem. Pozwala to na wykonywanie licznych ruchów, a co za tym idzie na całkowitą kontrolę nad perspektywą i głębią ostrości.

What is a large format camera?
Large format cameras tend to be view cameras, which is itself a generic term. View cameras are generally configured to have a rail or a flat bed running horizontally. There is a front standard where the lens is attached. There is a rear standard that holds the ground glass (for focusing) and the film. In between the standards is a light-tight bellows or bag. The image is focused by changing the distance between the two standards. The standards may also have movements that allow them to tilt or swing relative to each other. These movements allow the image to manipulated in camera for various effects.

One of the best things about having a large format camera is the movable standards. For this I tilted the front standard up as far as it...

Not all cameras have all movements available to both the front and rear standards, and some cameras have more movements available than others.

The bellows is a flexible, accordion-pleated box, which encloses the space between the lens and film, and has the ability to flex to accommodate the movements of the standards.
The front standard is a board at the front of the camera which holds the lens and, usually, a shutter.
At the other end of the bellows, the rear standard is a frame which holds a ground glass, used for focusing and composing the image before exposure, which is replaced by a holder containing the light-sensitive film, plate, or image sensor for exposure. The front and rear standards can move in various ways relative to each other, unlike most other types of camera, giving control over focus, depth of field and perspective.
