Between B and C

Shot using poor light (no flash, indoors, dark outside, one low

energy bulb) at ISO400, 1/15sec. The image was shot using a really

old Optomax 35mm f2.8 lens (wide open) just hand held in front of

camera body (no lens attached). The lens was tilted slightly to put

plane of focus from the B key through the text that says "curve" at

the top of the C# key. the dim light meant that not too much stray

light was able to enter the camera body (I'm in middle of sorting

out a rubber boot to go between lens and body at the moment). No

post processing apart from conversion to BW and sepia tone in Canon

DPP. The lens came with my Zenit E and 3 Helios primes that I bought

a few months ago for 10 quid!

Any thoughts/comments etc appreciated. Thanks.

It is very interesting. i love the weird warp it has. Almost it's own round look to it. The dof to the right and left it wild.

This is a GREAT study. I want to go try it but my arm hurts :(

DO MORE!! I am very amazed at this. Totally facinated.

hehe - good joke, not bad!

Micki, have a go at this yourself for fun. All you need to do is remove the lens from the camera and tilt it slightly just a few degrees. You have to manual focus, and adjust shutter speed to suit the aperture of the lens. The more you tilt it the greater the effect.

I know something similar could be done using software, but to do it like this I find enjoyable!
