Loving the 24mm Tilt Shift

Fri Mar 24, 2006, 11:35 AM
Last week I decided I couldn't wait any longer to get a full frame DSLR, so I picked up the Canon 5D. It is an absoluletly amazing
camera, at 100% pictures just look so perfect. Finially I can use my 12-24 wide angle lens and get some really distorted pics.

On the same day I was also able to pick up a used 24mm Tilt Shift lens, this was the best decision I have ever made. This lens is sooo much fun to use and really lets you take full control over focus allowing you to be more creative. I am still learning exactly how to control the tilt and shift but I am getting there. The pic below is one of my favourite pics taken with the lens, prolly because I am in it ;) It was taken by my friend Matt

and my fav tilt shift shot I've taken



I've also gotten into extreme macro photography recently. I ordered a reverse lens adapter on ebay and I have been using my old 28mm FD and 50mm FD lenses. I really really enjoy it, so much so that I am going to buy a studio tent and some powerful lights. Here are some examples.

Hey, thanks for adding "they look just like ants..." to your :+fav:. Nice one!
Brighton eh? I like Brighton. I need to come down your way in the next few weeks to the GAK shop (Guitar Amp Keyboard). Never been there before - I think it's up in The Lanes somewhere.
