GLASS – 12. PRINZGALAXY 400MM F6.3 | SAMPLE 1.
All of these samples were from about 15 mins around my garden as this thing is actually embarrassing to take out of my house. Here’s a crow, it’s pretty sharp – editing of these photos is done within reason, I don’t sharpen them, I don’t correct vignetting or distortion. Just some contrast/lightness corrections.

GLASS – 12. PRINZGALAXY 400MM F6.3 | TEST.
This test shot is rather tight on the old DIY cam – I had to use extension tubes to get this too as the minimal focus distance on this lens is 8m… I still couldn’t focus on the front of the camera properly. Again – it’s just a bit of fun, don’t expect to wow…

GLASS – 12. PRINZGALAXY 400MM F6.3 | OVERVIEW.
This Canon, I mean cannon, I mean “Prinxgalaxy”, is just your average 400mm, except you can use it as a baseball bat (tried&tested). It has no stabilisation and is an F6.3 so good luck photographing kingfishers in the rain, however its price is just 5% of the Canon 400mm, and you can pick up a…

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…
