Split Diopter test
I mentioned a few months ago that I was looking into different methods of deep focus for some of my shots. I randomly got the motivation a few weeks ago to order a split diopter, and it finally came in the mail today.
For the less camera savvy people, basically imagine it as a magnifying glass cut in half. It makes half the image field near-sighted, while the other half remains normal. This makes it so you can focus on two individual subjects at the same time, while maintaining a shallow depth of field. Top image was taken with the diopter, bottom without, just to fully illustrate the effect.
It seems to only work well on standard to short-telephoto focal length lenses. Definitely seems like an effect to use sparingly. The question is whether I'm even going to be able to use it for any of my scenes.
