GLASS – 11. CANON 50MM F1.8 TILT SHIFT | SAMPLE 3.
I can almost explain the effect in this example. If you look at the top of the plants which are in focus – the nearer ones have sharp tops whereas the furthe ones are out of focus UNLESS they’re a little shorter. This means that the focus plane, if moving outward, is moving down the…

GLASS – 11. CANON 50MM F1.8 TILT SHIFT | SAMPLE 2.
Unfortunately my subject is not in focus… but again, the depth of field looks very strange, all because you’re bending the focusing plane.

GLASS – 11. CANON 50MM F1.8 TILT SHIFT | SAMPLE 1.
This first example is pretty basic, you might even be able to recreate it with a F1.1 lens or something similar but this is so much cheaper. The depth of field here is much shallower than you would normally get from an F1.8 lens and that means you can pick out subjects from what is…

GLASS – 11. CANON 50MM F1.8 TILT SHIFT | TEST.
So this test photo does actually show what this lens does. When you bend the tube a certain way, you can bend the plane of focus (which is usually perpendicular to the direction you’re pointing your camera, which is why, if you focus on things 2m away – all things 2m away will be in…

GLASS – 11. CANON 50MM F1.8 TILT SHIFT | OVERVIEW.
Here is one of my most precious lenses, or, the second iteration of. This is simply an old 50mm lens stuck inside BMW engine tubing (other unnecessary commuter car brands are available). To the other end of the tubing I’ve super-glued the mount of those cheap extension tubes you buy for macro photography. The whole…

GLASS – 10. HOLGA 60MM F8.0 | SAMPLE 3.
Guess where this photo was taken from! Well, the platform edge actually. Just another example of composition. Not as off-center as the last one but still complete asymmetry, or diagonal balance – If you drew a line parallel to the rail, midway between the rail and the… apple?… you would cut the photo in half,…

GLASS – 10. HOLGA 60MM F8.0 | SAMPLE 2.
lens, Here’s another example, also from the train. This “Glass” series was a more of a challenge for myself than a showcase of photography, so almost all of the pictures in the series are taken in the space of two weeks – One day per lens pretty much. Here you can see the blindingly obvious…

GLASS – 10. HOLGA 60MM F8.0 | SAMPLE 1.
Here’s the first example of the images you can expect from the Holga lens. F8.0 does mean you need well lit environments to get a sharp picture however this landscape was taken from a moving train, making it even harder to get the right sharpness of subject. Although I don’t like the 1:1 picture ratio,…

GLASS – 10. HOLGA 60MM F8.0 | TEST.
As you can see, the image from the lens is in quite a strange aperture. The lens is pretty much an elaborate and neater pin-hole lens, with no glass elements other than a plastic one which is just decoration I think. The lens has a large central opening and 8 small holes around the outside,…

GLASS – 10. HOLGA 60MM F8.0 | OVERVIEW.
This is a fun little lens. Not one I would use very often but It captures interesting pinhole-like photos which are meant to reflect the style of old holga lenses. It’s very compact and will fit in any pocket. It’s also mostly plastic meaning it weighs less than a spare battery, meaning I usually bring…
