tilt shift

i’ve had a few opportunities over the last week to have a play with a tilt shift lens and it’s been rough to say the least! it’s so tricky to use properly but its easy to see how amazing a lens like this could be if you used it at the right time.. the hardest bit is that i guess my head is geared around having a depth of field relative to where i land my focus and not to a directional pane of my choosing, which is a marvelously free notion but i need much more skill to be able to pull it off well.

i guess the difficulty gives reason for people photoshopping their images to copy a tilt shift but the real use of a tilt shift is not for value of shockingly different pictures, it’s meant to not be seen , which is even harder than the previous option.

the espresso paradox considers the point where the espresso’s speed benefits result in a longer completion time than if one had not spent time acquiring and consuming the espresso in the first place.  this point is mostly controlled by one’s desire to consume the espresso, not the resulting time gains.
