I came across an oddity in Dallas county… the Spring Creek Forest Preserve in Garland TX, of all places. So Momma and I went out there (all 10 minutes from her North Dallas abode) and wandered around for a few hours. From the time we left the car (about 9:15am) until we were leaving (about 11:45am), …

From the ‘Dallas Blooms’ photowalk, with thanks to Greg D of the DFW Photography Club of Texas MeetUp group… 365.80 Ohne Titel D7000. 75-150mm E Series, reversed. ISO400, 1/125 (AP mode), f/8.

Got home a bit early today, and so I took the reversed 75-150 for a walk around the apartments. This is the best shot I got, though I was shooting more to test the performance characteristics of a reversed 75-150mm E Series in the wild than to make a competent photo. I tried to take …
Question: Why is there a tilt-shift type effect going on here? I’m probably going to take the 75-150mm E Series to the Arboretum for a meetup on Saturday, and I’m probably going to take it reversed, with ~30mm of extension tubes on the end as a sort of lens hood. An interesting thing about reversing …
