[QUOTE=alcheng;1719126]Mr.bbigby64, :tup: on playing tennis with Mrs. I'll say that's one of the best thing to do!!

I did manage to play about 3 hours tonight after work... that's why I am checking in at such a late hours... 1:50am... :yawn:[/QUO6TE]

That's good. Win or lose, my other main goal is to get a decent workout.

Oh is that what's going on there? Is that what's causing the extreme vignette?
I've seen those lenses in the photography mags, but have never played with one myself.

:iagree: :iagree:

It doesn't cause the vignette, but a tilt-shift lens will change the depth-of-field of the image, it can also "shift" the position of the subject in the image, imaging you bring two distanced subject to same position in a composition, that's how the call it "shift".

When master it well, it can make an actual scene into a miniature scene
It's a special effect lens, pricy and difficult to master....

disclaimer: I didn't take those pics... :icon17:

Lensbaby ftw

Lensbaby does shift... but only the position of the focus, but it can't make up the miniature effect. Those picture are real street and scene.

I've only used one a few times and I never do tilt-shift photography, so you got me there :p

Had angled ones but they were kinda long. The pressure they were applying on the screw wasnt enough. A shorter pair w some good teeth would have been better.
I plan on arriving between 4-6 tomorrow:tup:

Cant wait to rip the Dragon!

Oh and ZForce, great pics:tup:

I was amazed by its effect the first time I saw the pic in an album, I didn't know it was from a tilt-shift lens and I was "WTF how did they do that!!??"

One of my friend rented it and play with it for a bit, couldn't master it... cost about $1500 a piece :icon14:

Not $$$ consider it's a special lens but rarely have occasion to use it...

My friend is a wedding photographer and uses them all the time. So I check out his equipment without having to buy my own lol

waoh, had 2 sandwiches big big.... now time for nap. :yawn:
