First go at Tiltshift

Wasn't the best shot to try it on, just quite liked it but wasn't interesting enough, and suddenly thought... oh I should give that tiltshift thing a go.

Now I understand how not to take a shot for this kind of thing, anyway.

Nice, however, the Scheimpflug principle. I'm not sure if I like the sound of that.

Done digitally or with a shift lens?

I've been experimenting with time-lapse photography. You can make little films just using your slr (if you didn't already know). It's made a lot easier by use of a little 'intervalometer', which is basically a timer switch to fire the shutter at predetermined intervals. Some cameras have these integrated.

It's become quite popular to shoot little scenes with tilt shift to give that toy town effect.

Contemplating doing some extreme close-up time-lapses... I never get round to these things. I'll stick 'em up here if I end up with anything worth showing (don't hold your breath).

A good example (not by me, obv.):

Heh that was digitally, I can't afford a decent shift lens.

I didn't think about timelapse, actually I have seen lots of night shots and thought I'd love to do that but I need a wide angle lens. So that's on the back burner for now.

Time lapse would be easy to do on my camera, as it has an interval timer.

So that's what they call it! Can't f***ing stand it, ever since they started using it to make scenic shots on Coast and Countryfile look like badly-shot miniatures. I've spent years dealing with odd miniature projects where I've tied myself in knots trying to get a convincing depth of field.

I'll be honest. I'm not a huge fan either. It's a bit of a novelty that once you've seen it, that's it.

I'm guilty of trying out the fads too. 'Painting with light' (still like this though!) and E6 through C41 cross-processing, printing on lith paper (I think I'm losing my audience...)
