For those of us without this gear, the effect is still easily achieved.Īll you need are two steady hands, a detachable lens, and a camera. For decades this technique, called tilt, has been achievable to large-format photographers or to photographers with special gear like a tilt-shift lens. This can skew the effect of focus in areas of an image that would usually be uniformly in or out of focus.
By tilting the lens we’re able to tilt the focal plane. Simply put, free-lensing allows us to tilt the focus plane out of plumb. But with a fixed lens exposing images on a fixed plane, we’re not able to tilt the plane of focus away from plumb without special gear (or free-lensing, the technique I’m about to describe).
Objects closer to and further away from the point of focus will be blurry, but by turning the focus ring on the lens we’re able to move the plane of focus closer or further away as well. That’s why when we take a portrait and focus on the eye, usually the subjects other eye is also in focus (as is their face, which is usually on the same plane as the eyes). This means that the plane of focus is also plumb – that is, everything that is the same distance from your film or sensor is in focus by the same degree. The film plane (or sensor) is perfectly vertically plumb in relation to the glass elements of the lens, which are also vertically plumb. When you take a photo with a lens attached to your camera everything is flat and perfectly aligned.
BRISTOL TILTSHIFT MANUAL
If you own an interchangeable lens camera and a (preferably) manual lens, you’ve got everything you need to begin your path to extreme bokeh, selective focus, and light-leak enlightenment. Have you heard of it? It sounds a little bit like something offered by a weirdo in slightly pungent harem pants, but there’s nothing to fear. In the next few years, there is likely to be further significant change: The Bristol Metro bus route will pass through and the old railway depot to the South of Ashton Meadows is being marketed for housing development.įroGS aims to work with other local groups to ensure that this vital area of Bristol is protected and any future interventions improve rather than detract from this important green space.Free-lensing. While these interventions may have been necessary and/or well-intended (and in the case of the Pump Track are a great addition to activities for young people), there has been little or no consultation or coordination in their planning and delivery.
FroGS is the community group not only for Greville Smyth Park, but also for Ashton Meadows, the green space opposite the CREATE Centre.
