If the parasol was in focus, this would kill!

like most of these types of IR shots, it has masses of instant visual appeal. though, this one more so than others because it's so damn picturesque! composition is wonderful; the girl on the left really makes it gel, and the skyline really adds a depth, sense of scale and a nice break between the light sky and trees. only slight quibble is that the slightly yellow tinge makes the trees less visually appealing (like smokers teeth) and the blob of turquoise on the brolly is a bit distrcting. otherwise, great stuff that's visually lovely. 9.

on a side note, i must confess i have been dabbling with this sort of thing recently, and really everything i do is really crud compared to this - technically i wonder how you got such a great shot from the evidentally short exposure time (either that of the swan is amazingly compliant with the still pose). was this with a dslr, or a converted compact?

Tilt/Shift

Comment by zardoz:
Cool.

I was thinking about trying to fasten an old lens to an adapter ring I have using a simple bellows. My idea was to make a crude tilt and shift. I made a start on it by removing the lenses original mount so I could get it close enough to the film plane. Now I need to figure some means of attaching it to the adapter ring so that it can move. One day I may finish it ;-)

You have done exceptionally well to achieve focus by just holding the lens in place!
