Gamlingay Wood Carpetted with Fungi

Gamlingay Woods are so full of fungi at the moment that it is difficult to know which ones to choose to photograph. Here a selection taken with a tilt and shift lens.

Greenwich Shifted and Tilted

At the beginning of our day in Greenwich, I used the Tilt and Shift lens. By mistake I had the barrel of the lens in the wrong orientation when taking a view of Canary Wharf (the barrel has to be rotated for portrait orientation shots) which gave a tilt to the plane of focus so it is horizontally through the centre of the image. I corrected this for the next shot but, in fact, rather like the effect in the first image. I can see why it is called the toy town lens. Tilted shots inside Canary Wharf, 

 a  shifted image of the Painted Hall  and a bit of both for the Chapel at the Naval College

Wild Daffodils

 Everdon Stubbs wood in Northamptonshire has the County's highest concentration of wild daffodils. I came on this by chance when searching for another wood for primroses.I was delighted to be able to photograph these beautiful flowers - so delicate compared with the cultivated ones. There were also lots of Celandine, Wood Anemones and Wood Sorrel. I used the 24mm shift lens and the 15mm fish-eye to capture the woodland setting.

 

8.30 to Toy Town

Images taken with the Tilt and Shift lens showing the Toy Town effect you get with its narrow plane of focus. The lens was shifted and tilted for the second image.

More tilting in Bath

A few more tilt pictures from Bath - again with predominant purple in many cases. I realise that I only notice what colours are in fashion through my photographs!
The man and dogs worked best in monochrome as the background colours were very bright.
Then onto the train and back to Cambridge.

Tilt Lens in Bath

Decided to take the Tilt and Shift lens travelling to Bath today. I liked the purple element in each of these candids.

Tilt and Shift in Northampton

As the weather was pretty uninspiring today, I decided to give one of my under-used toys an outing. By using the lens shifted sideways with some tilt you can get some candid shots with only the subject sharp.
