Wisner 4x5 Technical Field. You can really take selective focus to the next level with the movements on these.

D600, 50/1.4D

Rotating the plane of focus + some tilt example.

Agreed.

I might have to sell a kidney for one of those 21's Nicola - great quality.

Last one from todays walk - all todays taken with the cheapest of the cheap - the little 50 1.8D

That camera looks like a piece of art tuco, and the B&W is really nice. I have been itching to try a T&S lens too. It wouldn't have the range of movement, but would be fun to try. I just spent my funds on yet another 300mm though.

Thanks. T/S lens would be sweet to have. Pentax made a 75mm shift lens for their 6x7 line. I considered it at one time. Shifting the lens to control vertical convergence needs a pretty level camera and is really a specialized case of the technique but applicable to a lot of situations. Lenses like that seem to be ones you get when you finally have everything else. But tiling can come in handy as you know.

With a 90mm focal length I was able to get good DOF from about 0.5 meters to infinity by tilting as in this example.

That is really cool!

Some from the Singapore Zoo, shot with Nikon D3, 70-200 VR2 and a rented TC-20e III. Quite a useful combo, although one must be very careful using the TC with a Blackrapid-style strap. As it dangles upside down, the lens release button could easily be accidentally depressed, releasing the lens (don't think you'll be carrying anything heavier than a 70-200/2.8 this way though) onto the ground behind you. Had a couple of close-calls over the course of the day

Anyway, here are the shots.. Tried to shoot and edit with a theme of "Animal emotions/expressions" in mind..

From this point on I think I'll just be a spectator of this thread. I don't dare post any of my own images anymore. Hell, I may even sell my gear.. The work is just too good. Seriously.

Frogfish · 12-10-2012, 10:53 AM

Darren - excellent series.

tuco · 12-10-2012, 12:57 PM

D600, 24-70/f2.8

Amazing photography discussed and displayed here! Just had to say that! You've proven the camera is.merely a tool! Give the same hammer to two people! One will make beautiful art with the hammer.......the other will simply write their name in the sand with the handle.
