Is that a new technique that's popular and I'm just not aware of it? I'm seeing it more and more.
The reason why I ask is because my favorite photographers, Joe Copalman and David Cenciotti have both used (I've noticed) a kind of vertical technique in some of their photos. I monitored some of the twitter and Flickr conversations and read that it was becoming popular because of print magazines.
I've haven't heard anything about the sharp and blurry. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
That Cobra looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery old 'look' that one used to see a lot more often before digital cameras. at one time the film version of this involved smearing a thin coat of petroleum jelly (Vaseline for example) around edges of a filter or stretching thin nylon mesh (stockings) over the lens/filter and punching a hole in the middle of it. Eventually, premade filters woth this effect were offered to a pretty broad amateur market. I used Cokin (http://www.cokin.co.uk/pages/cspot1.htm) among others. Now you can 'filter' or Photoshop. Progress.
ReplyDeletewell whatever the reason and I appreciate the input...I DON'T LIKE IT!
ReplyDeletelooks like a way to highlight one aspect of the picture, see links:

oh i know what its for but i don't want the camera person to direct my viewing. its in observing the whole picture that i get the most out of it. i cna't tell you how many times i've seen pics that highlighted a certain subject but the real gem was found in something slightly off camera.
ReplyDeletethis is just a gimmick that i don't care for. and that minature stuff is pure nonsense.
yeah i didnt say i liked it either, it actually makes it harder for me to see the object they are focusing on, i think thats why the camera companies have zoom abilities, but i guess some rather do things the hard way.
ReplyDeleteIt's also known as tilt-shift photography.
ReplyDeleteIt actually looks good if combined in time-lapse to make a video like this:

I would be willing to bet money that he is using a lensbaby like one of these...

On another note; Is that a USN H-60?
yeah it is a H-60. they've been showiing up more and more on amphibs.
ReplyDeletei'm wondering if we're seeing Navy Special Ops going out on deployments now?
Actually, it's an AH-1Z Super Cobra. It says "Marines" on the tail - we don't have H-60s. It's the 4-blade newest version of the Cobra. The other clue it he Huey parked in front of it.
DeleteThis effect is captured by the use of a lens baby or a similar devise.
