We always try to have Z meet in Toronto, and usually only 3-5 show up

Next Monday the 21st is a holiday and one of the member has planned a 40mins drive, and so far... only 5 has signed-up.....

C'mon GTA Z owners....

[QUOTE=alcheng;1719126]Mr.bbigby64,

on playing tennis with Mrs. I'll say that's one of the best thing to do!!

I did manage to play about 3 hours tonight after work... that's why I am checking in at such a late hours... 1:50am...

[/QUO6TE]

That's good. Win or lose, my other main goal is to get a decent workout.

I've seen those lenses in the photography mags, but have never played with one myself.

It doesn't cause the vignette, but a tilt-shift lens will change the depth-of-field of the image, it can also "shift" the position of the subject in the image, imaging you bring two distanced subject to same position in a composition, that's how the call it "shift".

When master it well, it can make an actual scene into a miniature scene
It's a special effect lens, pricy and difficult to master....

Here's a wiki ==> Tilt-shift_photography

disclaimer: I didn't take those pics...

Lensbaby does shift... but only the position of the focus, but it can't make up the miniature effect. Those picture are real street and scene.

I've only used one a few times and I never do tilt-shift photography, so you got me there

hi mr. zman!

hey there, mr.alcheng.

huh, you should take that invoice to the dealer and have them reimburse you. patching a tire is sometimes included in the lifetime warranty by the tire manufacturer.

Had angled ones but they were kinda long. The pressure they were applying on the screw wasnt enough. A shorter pair w some good teeth would have been better.

I was amazed by its effect the first time I saw the pic in an album, I didn't know it was from a tilt-shift lens and I was "WTF how did they do that!!??"

One of my friend rented it and play with it for a bit, couldn't master it... cost about $1500 a piece

Not $$$ consider it's a special lens but rarely have occasion to use it...
