During my film days, tilt/shift lens/bellows fascinated me -- but they were too bulky and expensive. Nice you are trying something new.View attachment 1875514 As promised, here's a different crop from my lens tilt practice image from yesterday, with my goal of getting acceptably sharp front-to-back using a wider aperture (f8 in this case) on a 40mm lens. I need a lot more practice but it's still a lot of fun. There are apps you can get where you can get the precise tilt you need (e.g. Lumariver) but there's the "fiddle" option too, which I used
Interesting perspective on the creative process

Get Small and Tell the Truth
In this video I share a quote by musician John Mayer where he said, "Get small and tell the truth," and why this simple idea had such a positive impact on my creative journey; helping me getting rid of the gimmicks and begin to put the message first in my work. - Sean Tucker (YouTube)

Wasn’t initially going to keep this photo, but I kinda like the lens flare for this setting.
Harvest Sunset.
Harvest Sunset.
This is the outer sunset district in San Francisco yesterday before the approaching storm, which made for a cool looking surf. Shot through a 600 mm lens from a nearby hilltop.
Colours almost all gone here. Just memories now.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I bought the iPhone pro max for the macro as I’m always looking at the insects. Else, I’d have stuck with the 12. Have a good day.
I finally got around to watching this video and it makes a lot of sense to me -- keeping things simple, keeping things real, stripping down to the essence of the actual message, putting away the gimmicks and the fancy tricks and techniques, just doing things simply and minimally. In photography, of course there are lots of opportunities for the use of tricks and sophisticated techniques both in the actual shooting and later in post-processing, but do these always honestly convey whatever message the artist is trying to share? He suggests that the artist ponder "why are you making things?" He asks, "what do you care about?"
