Playing with tilt and swing.
« on: June 18, 2015, 05:57:53 AM »
I just finally got a nice right angle, ground glass viewing screen for my Mamiya Press.  So I can finally start figuring out my way around using the tilt and swing,

-in the alley shot I tried to go for a "subtile" minimal prospective correction. -the other two are more "full on" 

- only 3 photos, -when I only get 8 to a roll, getting 5 good ones seems nearly impossible. hell, getting 3 is hard enough.

Tilt & swing fall into the category of "things I have absolutely no clue about" :P But I do love the photos! Especially the last one!

-Me neither, but I'm determined to figure it out, or at least learn enough about it to fake it.

Like all the shots.  Can't pick a favourite as they're all great.

I'm going to be having a play with tilt and swing when I get round to playing with my MPP.  However, my intention is not to correct things but to deliberately distort - a bit like the "Lensbaby" effect.
