So, this has been a really strange year. First we break records for rainfall all summer long and now it’s nearly the end of January and my lawn is still green?? Not that I mind the lack shovelling but this is really weird. Oh well, I’ll just have to make do with what little we have…

Nikon 45mm PC-E Micro

Posted on January 13, 2010 by Karen J

Tilt Shift

Had a chance to check out Nikon’s 45 mm PC-E lens this past weekend.

Plane of Focus

Tilt shift lenses are used in architectural photography to correct for converging lines created when shooting up at a building.They are also useful in macro photography and to create an effect called miniaturization.

The tilt moves the plane of focus so it is not perpendicular to the lens axis. The shift moves the image circle relative to the sensor in order to correct converging lines.

Effectively you can take a thin line of focus and move it around the frame…
