Quoting from page 52 of the revised edition of Steve Simmon's book on the  
View Camera: 
 
    'Rising the front of the camera ( or lowering the back )will put the  
horizon line lower in the frame, and decrease the amount of foreground in the  
photograph. Lowering the front ( or raising the back ) will have the opposite  
effect." 
 
    Therefore, if you turn the camera upside down you will have the effect of  
raising the horizone line and increasing the amount of foreground. Simply  
lowering the camera on tripod will increase the amount of foreground, AND  
lower the horizon line, unless you have some front movement. 
 
    Think about it!       Charles of Sioux City
