I was originally going to make the post’s title about the housing crisis, but decided it’d be better left as a fun caption game. Any ideas on clever captions for this pic? (I also posted this to my Facebook, so comment wherever you like).

tilt/shift lens? I.m guessing you didn’t use a 4×5 view camera.

My kids had a shack just like that.

Yeah, I used the Canon TS-E 45mm lens on my DSLR.

The grass seems unreal. How did you achieve that effect?

@hasser
I used a tilf-shift lens. They’re made for photography where you shoot architecture or product shots. It tils the lens, so it’s parallel to the object/building, so that you’re not looking up or down on something with a skewed perspective.

But you can also use the lens to purposely skew the focus and plane of view for dreamy and surreal results without having to photoshop.

The grass came out super sharp when it was in focus. I really hit my stride with the lens in the dreary overcast Oregon weather.

I think it makes everything look like a toy or a miniature. Eliza looks like an action figure of herself!

@mc-s That’s exactly what I was going to say. This shot looks like one of the adult swim bumps shots.
