Tried something a little funk today, and it kind of scared the crap out of me to do it. I was trying to recreate this, which I took in college with a large format camera. The effect is called tilt-shift, which usually happens when you move the front element of the camera. New cameras don’t have a movable front element, so to do this I had to remove the lens, and take the picture while holding it at an angle to the opening on the camera. Getting focus was extremely difficult and the photo isn’t exactly what I was looking for, but it was a fun experiment. My Exedrin PM’s just kicked in… its bed time now.
update: I’m actually happier with this than I initially felt. I just wish I had more control over where the line of focus was.
This is awesome
