More From Yesterday


The above image was made possible with Helicon Focus which blended 5 images with the focus changed slightly between images. Even though I had access to my tilt/shift 90 ts-e, you will note that there are two planes of focus, across the surface of the pulley but also along the shaft of the pulley - and they are completely opposed. No amount of stopping down or lens tilting would fix this. The only option prior to Helicon Focus would have been to let significant parts of the image drop out of focus, not impossible, but definitely better this way.



This image was a straight shot. You are looking at a flat steel sheet with the remains of water puddles dried out and rusting the metal in the patterns seen. Akvis Enhancer did bring out the patterns more and easier than I could have done just using curves.
