Tilt-Shift Lens

I haven’t done a very good job of blogging anywhere lately, least of all here.

I have, however, been fairly active in my photographic hobby. Some of the images I’ve posted have been to a new website I joined which is NSFW — for those who insist they are interested, the website is SuicideGirls. Most images that I post there will probably not end up here any time soon, unless I figure out a way and decide to add a “restricted” area for people over 18 who are not offended by non-pornographic nudity.

In the meantime, I’ve made another lens purchase: a Canon TS-E 90 mm f2.8 Tilt-Shift lens.

If you want to know more about what a tilt-shift lens can do, you might like to see this website, or this video.

The lady on this page is my law office manager, Serena Maldonado. I snuck up on her with the new tilt-shift lens and snapped this image of her reading. If you look closely, you may realize that the plane of focus does not run parallel to the camera, the way it will with an ordinary lens.
