Focal-Camera Workshop: Tilt-shift Camera

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki
Camera assembly process

In the Focal Camera Workshop I have made a tilt-shift camera.

I remember back then a few years ago, I first encountered tilt-shift large format analog camera in a photography course. It then becomes something that I am sentimental attached. Thus during the course I have added the tilt-shift function to my camera by having a bellow made from a water tube parts.

During the process I have also explored a few other alternatives to water tube, which related to DIY cultures around photography as well as history of camera development (especially on large or medium format analogue camera):
