Lance Cpl. David Rodriguez, a 21-year-old fire team leader with 3rd Platoon, Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment and native of Riverside, Calif., walks along a ridgeline after clearing compounds with Afghan National Army soldiers during Operation Tageer Shamal (Shifting Winds) in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Jan. 4. Over the past five years, coalition forces have operated with Afghan National Security Forces to defeat the insurgency in the central Helmand River valley. Driven from the green zones, or populated areas, of districts in southern Helmand, enemy fighters have sought refuge in bed-down locations west of the Helmand River. This area on the outskirts of Garmsir district has been, until now, nearly untouched by the partnered forces and the Afghan government. During the operation, Jan. 4-8, Afghan forces and Marines with 3/3 cleared the area of insurgent activity, weapons and improvised explosive device-making materials, and held shuras to address the concerns of local elders.

Analogue Olympus OM Zuiko Shift 35mm 1:2.8 shot with analogue Olympus OM Zuiko 50mm f/1.2 at aperture 4.
While I use my two other analogue lenses (50mm f/1.2 & 28mm f/2,8) from time to time, I never got round to trying my old shift & tilt lens. The 35mm corresponds to 70mm on my Four Thirds camera and with 70mm a shift mechanism doesn't make sense. Yes, there are the special effects the lens allows, but that's not really my thing.
More boring test shots. Trying to prove a point about lens design. The Zeiss G lenses have MTF and other tech specs that remain unsurpassed. They were designed for RF Film format and are simply fabulous for this format. Each lens has a different design, and IMHO the DESIGN is the critical factor when matching a legacy lens to the A7R digital sensor. The G90 is a Sonnar design. So-called “experts” are extremely biassed and refuse to believe the Sonnar design has inherent aberration. Most Leica lenses are Sonnar, and have been attached to the A7R in many reviews with rather poor results, for which the reviewers have blamed the camera (example: Ken Rockwell review of A7 with Leica Sonnar lens, terrible magenta shift). I beg to differ with such reviews, and opine the problem is the legacy lens design and not the camera.
This shot is taken with the G90 at f2.8, in ambient day lighting from window, with focus on the red “b”. The subject is chosen deliberately to show white on white background with light falling away from subject onto the white paper thereby creating very slight shadow. This is very difficult for any lens and any digital sensor to capture properly without colour shift. Here, one can see very slight magenta shift across the white paper. This is the inherent flaw of the Sonnar design, which the ultra sensitive A7R sensor can record (IMHO no others can achieve this). The lens is perfect in every other way, and this magenta shift does not appear on film images. The G45 Planar design has NO shift, proving the Planar design is the correct match for the A7R. IMHO for non-dedicated legacy lenses, only the best of best lenses can reach the potential of the A7R sensor, and only the Planar and Distagon designs will produce the best results.
I have yet to try the Sony Lens Correction App, but hope this app may correct the magenta shift in-camera.
Here's another shot from the now decommissioned Holly Street Power Plant. This was taken inside one of the control rooms. There was no power in the old plant, with only weak light filtering in from some windows. I pointed a small LED flashlight towards the center of the console to highlight the red tags.

trying Processing out as more than a tool to sketch out ideas, rather exploring the possibility that I can create finished pieces with it. (who knew?)
Playing around with the Tilt Shift effect on my new G12.

Thanks for watching.

The Shift Into Winter campaign officially kicks off, and we are reminding everyone to prepare their vehicle for winter weather conditions. Tires with the mountain snowflake symbol, which are specifically designed to meet cold weather performance standards, are the best choice for safe travel in winter conditions.

Otra chaqueta para mí, el patrón es Shift of Focus (Ravelry) , de la finlandesa Veera Valimaki.
Ya tengo la lana y el patrón para la siguiente: "Vanadium"
A tilt shift panorama taken from Kilcreggan beach looking across the Clyde to Gouroch and Dunoon. A tilt shift panorama is taken by using the shift operation of a tilt shift lens instead of rotating the camera. Read more here wp.me/p3dJ1p-bD
my first experiment in faking the miniature effect, I dont think I am very successful :(, better luck next time
Top to bottom:
1. The mess of parts and tools used to make the lenses.
2. A ~140mm tilt shift made from a projector lens.
3. A ~32mm tilt shift made from a Fivestar 28-75mm manual focus lens with the mount and aperture ring removed.
Both lenses are mounted with a rubber hose. The top picture was taken with the 32mm TS lens.
The design of both of these came largely from johnyoptic and bhautik joshi's work. Thanks to both of you for the tutorials and write-ups on DIY tilt shifts!
A shot taken from the top of Blackpool Tower in 2010. I've cropped the original and used Photoshop and a couple of plugins to give the image a tilt shift perspective.
Considering I don't have one of those incredibly expensive tilt shift lenses, I'm happy enough with the outcome :-)
Shifting Sands scarf at 33 inches. This photo makes it look bright blue and it's not. There is much more green in the colour, making it a definite teal.
This is Grumperina's Shifting Sands pattern, and here's my blog.
Scrap clay used to build a sensuous pattern, subtle texture was accented by white acrylic paint. 1.5" X 3".
This is a picture of a football field that I flew over whilst I was in a Microlight. The shutter speed was set at 1/500s and the aperture was set to f/5.6. I managed to recreate this without the fancy Tilt-Shift lens.
The summit of Grotto Mt. Alberta. This mountain is east of Canmore and although it is short in distance it is punishingly steep climb. With views of Mt. Rundle on the opposite side of the valley, Cascade mountain towards the north west, and countless backcountry peaks on the other side of Grotto, this mountain surprised me pleasantly!
