You achieved your purpose perfectly :)
I love these photos!!
Damn, after pressing F5 for a while, I was about to re-install FireFox, then I noticed the photo's note!
Cool job Sam.
Posted by ila at October 10, 2006 07:52 AMSam, I'm very proud of you for getting your work noticed, but I'm having a hard time finding something racist, or sexist to say about these pictures of buildings. You really need to give me something more to work with, I mean sure, I could say that this buiding can't get into some golf clubs because it's brown, or that it should spend more time in the kitchen pleaseing it's man by making better food. Or hell even point out the obviously falic clock tower. But that doesn't really make sense. Because it's a building. Please Sam, am I really asking too much that tomorrows picture be a naked hobo urinating on a child? Is that too much to ask?
Coop.

Posted by Craig Wilson at October 10, 2006 09:52 AMmission accomplished!
great shot.
Great photos on your site, I always enjoy looking at the work! I randomly found a link to your sight from my Estonian friend Annely's blog. Thanks for posting your work and descriptions about how you did the photos. I also have a Digital Rebel XT and find the information helpful. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Brent
Posted by Brent at October 10, 2006 01:06 PMI think your other attempt was much more succesful. In this one, too much of the background is in focus, which reduces the miniature effect.
Posted by Jan at October 10, 2006 01:30 PMit looks like an inverse of the last photo (focus-wise). its an interesting take as to how you do your work.
Posted by /\/\J at October 10, 2006 03:39 PMI love this whole series of images using the tilt/shift lens. It looks like images of minitures. Great effect and great photos.
Posted by Gabe McIntosh at October 10, 2006 03:53 PMI like the other picture more. It also looks more like a miniature to me.
Posted by frans (the netherlands) at October 10, 2006 06:18 PMIf I had to make a choice with this composition, the building foreground (as in prior shot) is more important than the clock. However, as a photo retoucher, I might be tempted to merge the tower detail from this one with the other building using Photoshop.
It is amazing how this lens can isolate such a narrow range of focus from this distance.
Posted by Kevin at October 10, 2006 08:51 PMYawn. Amazing how new techniques get flogged to death to the point that you realize how boring the photographs actually are. Reminds me of solarization in my CEGEP photoclub - every new member would be asking to turn the lights on so they could solarize a picture of their dog or the tree outside the front door...
Posted by vladhed at October 13, 2006 10:07 AMAt first glance, I did in fact think this was a model church until I looked at it with more scrutiny. I think you accomplished what you set out to do. I agree with a shorter depth of field it would have been bang on.
