Video is great. Better than stills of its kind.

You’re right, JDM. No shifting on this. You have a link or info re: the helicopter video?

Nice to have you drop by, Ms. Raab.

Why “tilt-shift”? You’re using tilts and swings to throw the focal plane wonky. I had a friend tell me it’s because you then had to move the focal plane up and down to get it where you want, but that would be “tilt-rise/fall” as shifts are left-right. Hell, David Burnett’s speed graphic doesn’t even have shift. From someone who has been shooting large format for a couple of years, the buzz word is rather irritating.

I do like the shot though, though some of the most interesting tilt-swing work I have seen lately has been of large stadiums and one video utilizing it while shooting from a helicopter flying around Las Vegas.

i like it. nice landscape, composition & moment - i’m sure oprah would love to buy a 10×8 foot for Harpo Enterprises HQ. david burnette doesn’t own the large format tilt/shift (as opposed to the photoshop action - am i the only one that thinks there ps actions are a load of hooey?), he simply uses it well.
