Re: Tilt-shift photography in Colbert's Late Show
Sorry, my bad. I didn't realize that I could watch that I have access to that because of my ISP (Suddenlink) that probably provides free access to the Cable-TV subscribers. Well, people in the regions where it is aired, can watch "The Late Show" on TV. The tilt-shift portion is at the every show, after the introductory portion which is probably some 5 minutes. It's actually a rather cute visual "accent" of this show.

Up until 18 months ago, my last big purchase was a new K7. Over the last few years I sold on much of what I owned, in the main because I wasn't using it and because I wanted to build up a more modern collection of lenses that would be in regular use. I've found with the K3 (never even tried any of the K5 range, so can't comment) within hours of using it, it was ideal for me. No matter what sensor size or any other factor, if the camera doesn't fit right in your hands and controls fall into place, it's never going to be the camera for you. As I had got rid of so much stuff, I tried other manufacturers cameras, and the only others that I really liked came from Nikon at more than twice the cost. Shooting RAW files on the K3 and slowly getting the hang of Lightroom and Elements has produced images I'm really pleased with. I would not spend new FF camera body money. As I posted a few weeks ago, I recently got a an *ist D again and that still takes most acceptable pictures. Darn bargain items, must resist! I could easily justify the jump from a K7 to a K3 in my mind, but it's difficult for me as a hobby photographer to see what benefits I'll gain by spending more money on a camera body. I recently had an 18" x 12" photo printed of a file from the K3 of an image I took in Scotland, (I rarely have prints made) and it's great and there is no way I would have cause to print larger than that. As for unused equipment, I'm going back to my old system of giving things a year from last use, and if there is no planned use for the item, it can be sold on to go towards something I need. The Lensbaby has another six months or so until it reaches that point.

I have such a lens, but to be honest it isn't as good as PS Elements for making the effect or, of course, a patch on a tilt/shift lens. Now if I lived in New York, there would be a valid reason to own a proper tilt/shift in the first place, without the need for its other transformational skill. Much as I would like a proper tilt/shift lens myself, I couldn't justify the cost to use factor. The Lensbaby is a useful lens at times, but I'm glad I got it at a bargain price. I go through phases with it and it is currently in the off season. I would hate to own a seriously expensive lens and use it as much as the Lensbaby.
