    Blind photographer? Big deal. In the U.S., we just went through 8 years of having a President with no vision.

    @bosskev: I would say it was more like tunnel vision as it relates to the "war on terror." But that's better than the tunnel vision of our current president as he stares deep into our pockets.

    @jbaranski: "...politics? Leave it alone and talk about photography please."

    Alrighty.

    Here we see an amazing photograph taking advantage of dramatic lighting, capturing the subject in a dynamic, thoughtful pose. The distant spotlights, coupled with the framing of the figure from a low-angle vantage point, suggest a powerful stage presence, while the black background keeps the location timeless and universal. In sum, here's a photo that, through its art, presents a commanding persona that has captured the respect of the public.

    And, as such, this photo also serves to remind us how, like statistics, photos do not necessarily have anything to do with the truth.

    Does it seems calloused to ask why a blind man would want to take pictures? To look at later? Share his visual reflections? Seriously, I must be missing something here. Or else this is a medicine show testimonial...

    How do the tilt shift results look different from a picture taken a large distance away from the subject, but at a large aperture (f1.8)?

    I was going to say (rather snidely) that the reason you buy an expensive tilt-shift lens is for architectural photography, i.e., to keep parallel lines from converging (so the building looks "right"), not for a dumb Lilliputian gimmick as proposed by this article.


    Then I went to the Dvice link and looked at the dozens of sample shots. Uh...stunning.


    I think I'll just shut up.

    Does the lens actually reduce the depth of field, or does it just blur the top and bottom of the frame?
     Reply

    Image of bosskev bosskev
    03/10/09

    @jetRink: It is not just blurring the top/bottom (which is why after-the-fact Photoshop blurring looks fake), nor is it reducing the depth of field (which cannot be done after-the-fact). It is actually shifting the focal plane to a different angle/direction.


    Normally the focal plane is exactly parallel to the camera's film/sensor plane. These lenses purposely alter that relationship, tilting the focal plane out of parallel. So it is not reducing the depth of field--that is a constant--but it is changing where the depth of field lies in space, placing it in a different plane. So instead of having depth of field from "front to back", you might now have depth of field from "top to bottom" or some other variation. HTH.

    No, but the filmmaker in me says you still get points for knowing the phrase "pull focus". Not quite ready to hire you as my next DP, but do keep your resume handy...
