what is squirly bokeh?

>>2729113
What's the issue?

>>2729116
wide angle with bokeh.
Theres no way in the early 19th century lensmakers made superfast wide angle lenses to achieve that result.

>>2729119
Larger film has a shallower depth of field at the same field of view

LF

also could be tilt shift. yes, cameras could totally do tilt shift back then

ITT faggots who have never seen large format think large format photo is created with voodoo magic witchcraft

>>2729113
why does everything look like studio shots back in the earlieth centurey?

>>2729172
Because films and plates very slow and because demand for portraits was large. Photography was a craft rather than an art.

This is a joke, right?

your camera is huge, slow, expensive and tedious to use. your subjects must remain motionless for a long time.

>>2729172
Cameras were very large (no portability) and film was very slow (like 5 ISO for you kids) meaning the models had to stand still for quite a while.
