anamorphic-a-day :: #32



Back again trying to do macro-photography with anamorphics.  As far as I know, doing this sort of thing with this lens setup is all kinds of stupid.  Nevertheless, I think the result is quite pretty - largely on account of lovely work by the very talented Miae Kim [antige.etsy.com].

To make this happen though I had to use every dioptre I had, including ones that blatantly didn't fit, necessitating the use of packing tape.

Soooo ghetto...

anamorphic-a-day :: #31


Crow trails.  Again, another example of a picture I've been meaning to take for a long time.  About 470 separate images combined to make this singular image. Slightly lower resolution as I used the BlackMagic Cinema Camera to record the crow footage.

anamorphic-a-day :: #16



This was way too much effort, involving taping multiple diopters and the anamorphot onto the lens...  I never even got the image sharp, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

anamorphic-a-day :: #8

Supermarket ice sitting on foil, with IKEA LED lights.  Using an Iscorama 54 with a more conservative/practical 1.33x squeeze as opposed  to Kowa's insane 2x.  The 135mm FD was fairly wide open with a diopter.  Somewhere in there is a sharp plane of focus.  Would have been nice to have more of the details on that plane ie have more sharpness.  Oh well, another time.

Also, the results  of all this are 2.35:1, which is a cinematic standard.  Oddly enough I've kind of got used to 32:9 though!
