Using the tilt shift lens the correct way

07.15.08 POSTED IN: Randomness

Well highdee ho, long time no blog . . .

I’m in the middle of my first big push of weddings for this year. I shot 5 in 4 weeks plus 2 engagement portrait sessions plus a family portrait session. So I’m going to have lots of updates on my wedding blog, but not so many on this site in the near future.

I’m still working with that new tilt shift lens. Here is a recent shot where I’m using the lens ‘correctly’; aligning the focus plane with the items of interest. This photo would not be possible with a normal lens. The taps are receding away from me, and are all in focus. But the area behind the taps, the bar, is completely out of focus. This shot was taken at f2.8, 1/50, ISO1600.

And at the request of a request in the comments section, this image was taken at Delaney’s down in Denver.  I was shooting images at this month’s Integrated Alliances Socialnet event!

Bobbie Turner - Nice comp. Somehow seems easier to shoot taps than to shoot some dude on a MTN bike rolling over a rock or down the trail. That’s a cool lens!

Jesper - Nice picture, but more importantly: Where do they have Carlsberg on tap?

Steve Z - Delaney’s in Lodo. Is Carlsberg hard to find on tap?

Jesper - Thanks! I was hoping it was somewhere in Boulder.
Carlsberg can be found, but not in many places. Tuborg however seems quite elusive here in the States.
