A slice of Brisbane

Playing with the TS-E lens tonight to see how it works. This shot I wanted a slice of the photo in focus from foreground to background and everything else gradually more out of focus. Seems to have worked as planned.

    Nice, and looks like you achieved what you set out to do. I like the oof bokeh on the edges.

    Nice one mate... works well.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/allan_nielsen] I took some serious ones too, using just shift to correct for distortion. Also worked well. Could frame with the horizon in the centre to ensure straight buildings, then just shift up two degrees or so to put the horizon on the bottom third. Straight buildings AND a decent composition :)
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kanegledhill] Indeed :)

    Awesome capture, thats one of the best Tilt shift shots I've seen.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/flarecreative] First session I've used it. Need more practice to really get a good idea of what it can do.

    Interesting effect David. Looks like a fun and challenging new "toy" ...
  • David de Groot said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpw_photography] Definitely a challenge. I suspect without Live View it'd be next to impossible to work out what you're doing just by looking through the viewfinder.

    It's got that fake tilt/shift look about it. ;-)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/hsintailiu] Thanks!
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/32491696@N00] Yeah it's nothing serious, just playing around.
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenedis] hehehe

    Nicely done David. I like it.

    Ah ha that is awesome, a classic done differently. Wow really looks like you can push thing around with the tilt and shift. The blue lights look pretty cool out-of-focus.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikesenior] Thanks :)
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/samuelsharpe] Yeah there's a fair amount of movement available (less than the 24mm TS-E which does 8 degrees of tilt, as opposed to the 6.5 degrees of the 17, but given the wider field of view, I'm not surprised).

    awesome lens! keep up the good work, Dave! :-)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maki_s_brown_eyes] Pretty nifty eh ?

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/21854798@N07] 'tis a lovely lens - amazingly sharp for an ultra wide. :)
