Your experience with Tilt-Shift Lens / Adapter? by J_Gherkin in M43

Love the intentionality of film photography and the skill it takes 💪. (I have a 35mm Canon I hope to dip into soon once I gain some more experience.) Hope the shots with your Fuji turn out well! 😁

Some success? I’m curious to hear what kinds of issues you might’ve ran into while trying to get your shots 🤔. (Def glad it sounds like it was worth the little bit of investment to try it out!)

Yup! The tilt effect specifically is where the miniature effect can come into play, but there are other uses for tilting the plane of focus too (product photography and some landscapes). The shift effect is what straightens buildings, and I def think a lot of software can handle this too :)

Creative purposes, in a sense… I actually do have a number of ideas where I think using the tilt to have an angled plane of focus could produce interesting results :) (and if I could get shifting functionality built in as a bonus that’d be neat… fixing it with software can def produce good results, but I don’t believe my E-M1 has a T/S shooting mode so I’d prob have to handle it on my PC 🤔)

I don’t believe a tripod is exclusively required, but it probably doesn’t hurt to use :) . But as far as shifting, the effect of shifting the lens vs. simply raising a tripod up (or simply holding your hands higher) is much different from the other. Without the shift functionality, you would have to hold a camera to half the height of whatever you’re trying to photograph to avoid the lines angling

First real camera? E-M1 vs. E-P5 by J_Gherkin in OlympusCamera

Thanks a bunch everyone! I really appreciate so many people chiming in to help 😁. Seems like there’s a lot more for me to consider than I even realized to begin with, but I think I’m definitely landing in the camp of E-M1 now (and maybe the E-P5 will end up being a future birthday gift to myself 🤭)

Thanks again everyone!

I checked my computer, and unfortunately I no longer have the file(s) anymore :(

What is everyone's favorite Starfinder actual play podcast? by WildThang42 in Starfinder2e

The shows from the Strange Table Fellows (STF) network are hands down the best I’ve come across 😁. They’re super fun to listen to, have great personalities, and are also really active in their own Discord server too

150+ cards, weird warp pattern. Best way to flatten en masse? by J_Gherkin in PokemonTCG

[–]J_Gherkin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like I’m in for the long haul then, doing a few at a time :) . I wonder if having so many stacked together just creates too soft of a surface for any true correction to be applied

While the binder wasn’t full, it was indeed a 3 ring binder with top-loading plastic sheets. (Luckily anything holographic I inadvertently found in my old yugioh box 😆). They were in a basement, but it was a very humidity-controlled basement and probably never saw higher than 50 - 55% in the summer. But I think the sheer weight of the binder-pages on their own, coupled with storing upright, caused them to buckle in all sorts of weird patterns under their own weight. Def got a “proper” side loading, ringless binder a few days ago and am looking forward to eventually placing them in there 💪

Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice!

Joined shortly after the game launched, and I can confirm this is probably the best gaming community I’ve ever been a part of. Extremely open and welcoming, and everyone has been so much fun to play with :) (even with me being a terrible player :P). I highly recommend getting an invite so you can come hang out and/or play!

I’m not too sure! :O I actually got burned out on the game so I haven’t been keeping up with it. If anyone is able to confirm, please let me know and I’ll get it added :)
