PESO+ squeezerlens experiments
I finally bought a Squeezerlens tilt/shift gadget for my 645z because I had a hankering to dabble with pictorialism once again. After shooting a few random scenes and objects I booked a shoot with a visual artist slash model from Seattle who was just visiting the area. That went astoundingly well and here is the best shot so far ... "A comment regarding pedestals: no-one asked the woman" https://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/IjteXqCQu5c4 The Squeezerlens is hand made by a nice German guy named Frank Baeseler, and versions exist for various mounts, including the Pentax 645. (I would have simply bought a Lensbaby but they don't do anything for medium format.) http://squeezerlens.com/medium-squeezerlens.html The optic in my copy is a Leitz Hektor (120 mm, f:2.5) projector lens. It produces all kinds of wonderful distortion and looks super dreamy when shooting a backlit scene. Some more shots: https://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/IqrQue6u8Q8c https://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/IYXaBBmvIVv0 And less serious: "Pictorialist Glamour" http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/image/168659165532 Enjoy! -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO+ squeezerlens experiments
The first image ("pedestals") just confuses me. My favorite of the group is "Cautiously Optimistic." Quite pleasing and effective.

Re: PESO+ squeezerlens experiments
Thank you, Bob. It's fun to use but not that simple to get useable images. A little of the OOF effect goes a long way, and as usual I struggle with subtlety. ;) The model herself loves that shot. One of her friends declared it's now his favourite portrait of her. On Sun, Dec 17, 2017 at 7:45 PM, Bob W-PDML wrote: > Good stuff.

"The image itself or the caption?" Both. I'm just not artistic.

I thought it was pretty obvious "no-one asked the woman" ... if she wanted to be put up on a pedestal. On 12/17/2017 20:56, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: The first image ("pedestals") just confuses me.
