Very cool shot Yakim. I have done a few fine art pieces featuring Mr. Einstein, but I never understood the rest of him. Nice shot, I like the TS treatment. Good luck this week.
Just a tidbit....Einstein did poorly in math in his younger days. He was so gifted that hea got bored in school and didn't do well on tests. His teachers thought that he was dumb.
So....someitmes it takes passion to express your talents!
BTW, the haircut issue reminds me of an urban legend that I heard of him. He allegedly had several identical shirts, jackets, pants and shoes in his closet. Reason: He did not want to waste time on trivial things.

I like the line of focus from his left eye through nose. It holds my attention right on his eye. Awesome DOF.
Exactly what I was aiming at. Indeed it has a funky DoF. That's why it's so fun.

Anyone know a cheap way into tilt-shift? It seems like all TS lenses are X-pen-sive.
Alas, there's no way I know to get cheap TS. The cheapest I know are shift (not tilt) Zuiko lenses. My choice was a M645 120/4 with Mirex TS adapter. While the 120/4 is not expensive (got a mint one for 350$ from Adorama), the 80/4 is a bit cheaper. This FL is more comfortable on APS cameras but it only gets to 1:2 while the 120/4 gets to 1:1.
Best way is to post a question in the Alternative forum. There are some very knowledgeable men there and Jim (jcolwell) simply never ceases to amaze me.
so I tried a different approach. 40 years ago the government of Israel issued a bill with the sharpest man ever.
