Taken from a plane on its way from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur. You can see Harbour Bridge on the left, and a (very) small part of the Opera House.
Explored! #159 - 1 January 2010 (for me number 8 - thank you very much for all your comments and views!)
This is an old photo that I took last summer. I finally decided to try out this tiltshift thing and this picture seemed perfect for it.
My Second attempt at a Tilt Shift effect using GIMP and here we see "GBRf Toytown at Wellingborough Yard"

I found the TiltShift Maker website a couple of weeks ago, but forgot about it. If I visit Hill 582 again, I'll remember to take more pictures that might work with it.
The mount is an abomination of cardboard and gaffer tape, but I love it.
The base is a toilet paper tube with a rectangular window cut all the way through it. The lens itself is an eBay find ($6, shipped) that has proven to be quite versatile. We've even used it as a smartphone projector. It apparently originated as a condenser lens for a Kodak Ektagraphic projector and measures about 2" x 2 1/8". It biconvex and about 1/2" thick in the center, but much thinner at the edges.
Eventually I plan to mount it on a cannibalized PKA-mount. This will allow me to use a mechanical diaphragm instead of my current hole-in-cardboard aperture. It will also convince my camera to allow the use of functions like wireless flash control and high-speed flash despite the DIY nature of the lens.
Today I can use it by pressing it against my cardboard aperture, which in turn is pressed against a series of macro extension tubes mounted on the camera. It produces some strange images.
