    DIY Lens mounted on 4x5:

    50368693651_0ab389b6f0_w.jpg

    I've been messing around a bit with DIY lenses, this one is 177mm FL, shooting it at f/8, and is 3 elements in 2 groups, stop in the middle. Single positive (and plastic :-P ) meniscus at the front, a cemented achromatic doublet at the back. Could probably do with being stopped down a bit more :-D

    Where is this Loki or what wreck is it? It's a great shot!


  • Registered Users Posts: 677 ✭✭✭Loki98


    Firstly, thanks for your comment and second, I hate to disappoint but its mostly in my head. The wreck is the MV Plassey on Inish Oirr, the rest is Photoshop. The original photo is below

    Is a cool picture as is! The shark doesn't do anything for it though imo.

    Genuinely find this picture very unsettling. Its setting something off in my lizard brain going no no no no.

    It was meant to be a bit weird.

    The subject was "A Body Part"

    OK, but if you look thru the picture it does give a 3D effect


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 9,047 CMod ✭✭✭✭CabanSail


    Yes and the layering was meant to give that effect. I did fiddle with reducing the size of each layer but it did not work as well. I settled with increasing the saturation on one bird to make it a focus.

    This is the original image.

    Wow!! where is this ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,648 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    I think it's a different place but it's reminiscent of hidden beach, Mexico.

    It's in Portugal on the Algarve near the Benegil sea cave. It's heavily photoshopped

    Thought I recognised it.

    And how did you do it ?
    Painstakingly selecting the bird and then copy and paste .... ?

    I did the cut out of the Pelican.

    Made a Group and duplicated the layer and shifted it across the frame.

    Duplicated the Group and Reversed it (Flip Horizontal)

    Then made multiple copies to make up all the rows.

    Picked the layer which was to be the focus and increased contrast and saturation.

    That made sense when I wrote it ..... but it is easy when demonstrated. Just lots of layers copied, grouped and moved.

    i'm sure Cabansail can demonstrate if you want, but he'll send you a large bill for his efforts.

    Not at all ..... just the International travel and quarantine could be problem.

    I like this. but does anyone know where it is.

    I like the light and the bridge in the distance and the way the river curves into the shot

    lovely
