La Défense Study I Tour Total
La Défense Study I - Tour Total. La Défense, Paris, France - May 2013
I haven't been posting much the last few months, well actually the past 10 months, simply because I've been very busy with… the business of photography! Meaning: workshops, creating (video) tutorials and also taking photos and processing them. I'm working on the ongoing Heart of Darkness series and this new series on Paris with some lesser known buildings with a regular take on it and the familiar buildings with a more unusual take on it. At the same time this is going to be a departure on my usual architectural work, hope you will see the difference already, and else you'll see it when this series progresses which have all been shot with a tilt-shift lens. This specific shot for example would've been impossible to shoot with a normal wide angle lens without any distortion and without leaving out large parts of the subject.
I've noticed that shooting with a T/S lens and Long exposure at the same time causes a considerable amount of light leakage. Remedy: make sure everything is taped or covered, including the lens! (not the glass itself of course)
Technical info:
Canon 5D MK III with 24mm Tilt/Shift Lens. Maximum vertical shift upwards, no tilt or swing.
