Is it obvious?

July 5, 2025 Peter Damo

Not an award winning photo by any means. But it demonstrates a subtle use of tilt/shift. In this case, a Nikon D800 with a Mirex T/S adapter and maybe a Hasselblad 60mm (Zeiss) lens. I say subtle because it doesn’t have a strong ‘miniature’ signature. At first viewing something is fishy about this shot - the close foreground is blurred as are the clouds and sky. The image, to my eye is distinctive but not unnatural. The log certainly draws your attention. Perhaps that’s also due to the log being sat on a rock ‘island’. Replace the log with a model in a low profile pose and I think you would have in interesting image. Since selling my Nikon system, I eventually bought a Fotodiox T/S adapter for some Pentax 6x7 lenses on the GFX. Though not machined quite as nicely, the Fotodiox does the job. I’m looking forward to some more experimentation when time permits.
