Jim. educate me. I see you have a tilt shift lens but I really don't know much about them apart from the surreal pictures I have seen coming from them. They apparently are designed to serve a function in architectural photography. What is it? In this picture did you alter the perspective or the DOF or both? The Picture is great. What part did the tilt/shift play? What was the goal and what were you able to do that would not have been possible before?

Dale,
to be honest i am still learning about these lenses my self and i have had little time to use it.In the shot above it allowed me to get the composition that i wanted from where i was holding the camera, without the shift it would have been a much more centered image.As i said i am still learning what the possibilities are with the lens myself
Bright colors and interesting places. Great page! Great shots and some nice lenses also.
These shots are from a walk in the woods this afternoon. All taken with Nex 7 and Minolta Zoom MD 35-70. I know I am right on the edge of HDR here but nothing else would make the detail stand out in this high contrast setting of almost four f/stops range.

When I was a boy of eight I once set in the narrow back of this car, a white one, with a famous Dutch painter and one of his paintings. He was going to change his painting for a compleet new Bruynzeel kitchen. And he did!
An architectural shots with the Tessar and Speedbooster.
Totally thrilling shot, Wilhelm! A wall-hanger! Maybe, just maybe, consider cropping a bit off the bottom?
Brilliant, Michiel! Just the sort of shot I've tried many times and failed at...
Thanks so much Philippe! You know that very lens well I know, I think we have an unsettled thingy there since long. Let me know if I should remind you through PM :-) On the subject of composition you're absolutely right, it would benefit from less asphalt. I miss your posts, am I just being ignorant or do you use your kit less often nowadays?

Michiel, thanks for the story. Really like the #10 facade shot. Is that the CY super-pancake you're using? It looks ridiculous on a Canon 5D2 but I'd like to get it some day for a film Contax I have for nostalgic purposes. What's your verdict on that lens?

Yes it is the pancake.
I should give it a good try out without the Speedbooster, the corners will probably be a lot better, For the rest it is plenty sharp and it fits the NEX-7 with adapter well.
, but that first one is really nice briantho!
