Selective Focus Can Be Your Friend — Tilt Photography on the Cheap

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Hey photo friends – Erik here. While I’m typically the video guy around these parts,  I wanted to hop on the blog to quickly tell you about a piece of camera gear that I’ve been enjoying lately.  I picked up a Tilt Transformer from Lensbaby about a month ago and it’s now a permanent piece of my walk-around photography kit.  The Tilt Transformer allows you to mount your Nikon lenses to a Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX camera and then swivel the Tilt Transformer around for some dramatic selective focus shots. Tilting the lens creates a “slice” of focus that can be adjusted vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and the size of the focus slice can be adjusted by changing the aperture on the lens.  It’s a great way to create tilt-shift style photography for a fraction of the price of a single tilt-shift lens.

Q: What is the benefit of a tilt or tilt/shift lens?
A: The benefit of a tilt (or tilt/shift) lens can be myriad, but mostly it’s incredibly effective at removing visual noise and focusing or drawing the viewer’s eye to the intended subject.

Use the image tabs atop this post to take a spin through a gallery of photos I shot with it and my Olympus E-P3 and see what I mean. Also take a peek at the Lensbaby site for more details.

    So coconut oil is not only good for your skin but also for
    your hair. Coconut oil has amazing properties for fighting both internal and external yeast infections.
    Use the gel extracted from Aloe Vera leaves to apply on the scalp and hair strands.

    Price Alone Doesn’t Guarantee Quality While price is a solid element in purchasing certain products, it isn’t the sole factor to consider. Keep in mind that the expense of a product doesn’t invariably guarantee its quality. So if you are dead set on buying cheap Android tablets, you’ve got that huge responsibility to be sure that the quality is still good, if not great. Don’t be mistaken though. Not all inexpensive Android tablets have low quality. The problem is that might be it hard to acquire the ones with both high quality and affordable rates. This is where you ask yourself: what factor is more important ‘ price or quality?
