Love these city landscapes. I wish I had a view like this here, but no dice! :-D
Posted by Thomas Solberg / Project neXus at September 27, 2006 01:53 AMHonestly, how do you do the things you do? You are an amazing photographer!
Posted by Tara at September 27, 2006 02:16 AMI love the photos..I can't help but notice that they look like they're miniatures...I've seen a few of those tutorials around a few months ago....
Posted by Chris at September 27, 2006 02:34 AMCrazy wild! These almost look like extreme close-ups of architectural models... very surreal... very Dali-like, in my opinion. Well played!! :-) It would be nice to see the same technique applied to some of our American cities/monuments... Golden Gate Bridge; Mackinac Bridge (closer to you, anyway...) the Mall in Washington D.C. How far can this be pushed? Hmm...

This lens must be fun to use!
Posted by kikko77 at September 27, 2006 06:05 AMHi Sam, I am not familiar with this tilt-shift lenses, but the effect looks amazing. Does it work with persons as well, or only really for architecture (perspective)? Enjoy the party tomorrow!
Posted by Cas Poldermans at September 27, 2006 06:29 AMalmost like a model of building
Posted by kris at September 27, 2006 07:59 AMlooking down on the town, way to go.
Posted by Chantal at September 27, 2006 07:59 AMAlthough I enjoyed both this picture and the one of the Old City Hall, I find the loss of focus top and bottom a concern. I know this is a function of the T & S lens but not sure if it can be overcome.
Keep up the good work, always enjoy.

Posted by Frank Moodey at September 27, 2006 10:16 AMI fail to be impressed by mostly out of focus images.
One of your least interesting posts.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at September 27, 2006 10:31 AMNice use of the lens. I'm sure the Spacing magazine will be happy with these recent photos of yours.
Posted by Photoblog Community at September 27, 2006 10:56 AMThe tilt-shift lens shots always make me think of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. :)
Posted by Trish at September 27, 2006 11:34 AMFrank: the whole point of this lens is to get a small focal range. Which is why the top and bottom are blurred -- it is the desired effect, not something to be overcome.
Posted by Matt at September 27, 2006 11:39 AMHow he is possbile to sfuocare in this way? Which objective you have used? I want to impare anch'io to make photo in this way :-)
Posted by Fabio at September 27, 2006 12:23 PMMarvellous! A real scale head mess!
Posted by Jon at September 27, 2006 02:32 PMHi Sam. Just wanted to say that I love this week's shots of the downtown core with your tilt-shift lens. Keep them coming!
Posted by Rob at September 27, 2006 03:03 PMAmazing shot - you use the lens excellently.
Posted by Craig at September 27, 2006 03:32 PMGreat depth of field the buildings are cool. Im wondering, would you be able to get the same effect with a lensbaby?
Posted by Andrew at September 27, 2006 04:58 PMThe buildings do look like models.
Posted by Laurie at September 27, 2006 05:09 PMI like them, they're different... and that's important.
You made me look up these lenses... if only I had money....
wow, spectacular! I really need to experiment with these kind of lenses (or at least simulate it in PS)!
