A tilted lens

A tilted lens

 

1:1 macro shot of a detail of my workhorse lens for architecture, the 19mm f/4 tilt-shift. I never realized the relief was so high... nor so dirty! It’s a shame, as I clean the lens thoroughly (or so did I think) after every shooting...

 

Composite photograph made up of 70 focus-stacked exposures, set using the built-in function on the Nikon Z7. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method C.

 

Shot for my Macro Mondays group, “Numbers and Letters” theme.

 

Strobist and technical: one Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 1 meter from subject and 0.5 meter above it, firing at full power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser; white card reflector to camera right.

Strobe set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hot shoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GT3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, Micro–Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 S macro lens.
