Tilt Shift - Derby Bus Station

Tilt Shift - Derby Bus Station a photo by Scouse_and_Jules on Flickr.

An experiment with Tilt Shift processing using this tutorial www.visualphotoguide.com/tilt-shift-photoshop-tutorial-ho... This creates an almost dream like effect that looks like a photograph taken of a scale model.

Previous day was brilliant sunshine... such is the British Summer.

It can be truly said Spring has sprung - four seasons in one day weather, sunshine , longer evenings and the roads are warming up nicely and a lot quicker!

Summer thoughts

Sunshine at last ! First shadows I have seen this week , but does it have to be so windy ? The Jetstream is well knackered this year , and they say there is no Global warming yet...

Pulling the Pin

I am a great fan of cheap and cheerful Russian photographic gear for creating atmospheric images.
A couple of years ago i bought a Zenitar 16mm Fisheye from a German company on eBay, and initially thought it was great until I realised I could not make it stop down using the adaptor mount on the EOS film cameras.

A quick poke around on Flickr in the Zenitar Group Discussion turned up this handy fix it involves junking some of the hardware, which is worth keeping in a safe place if you want to sell it on.

I can now step down through the f-stops from 2.8 to 22! Hurrah.... will post some pics up quite soon.
