Cool Selective focus - 10-20-2010, 08:20 AM


The other half of "tack sharp photos." Sometimes both are present in a single frame.

I enjoyed this photographer's work. The parts in and out of focus. Landscapes and portraits.

Enjoy!

I have no idea. He is a member of the Large Format Forum, so...............maybe he's using a view camera?

Is that not the effect of a tilt-shift lens?

The square format leads me to think he is using something like a Hassleblad flexbody.

Maybe we should ask Vladimir?

Is this not TechnoMarvelous? The Fuji GX 680 III.

Some clues here:

Flickr: [vla:d]'s Photostream
Vladimir Longauer
Valdoo on deviantART

So... maybe the Pentacon six with Tilt Shift lens
Pentacon Six: tilt lenses

Or one of his other med format cams? I don't know enough about med format cams to even guess.

But, I enjoyed seeing his work! Excellent.
