Fire and Water!
My next blog was going to be about our wedding in NY but I wanted to wait have have Holly edit a few fresh images that no one has seen so that gives me the chance to show you guys what I did last night! It was raining and I have been wanting to do some raindrop-on window bokah shots… But since Jay-Eads just showed me how to make a tilt-shift out of any lens, I thought I would try it out and see how it works!
It… was.. AWESOME!I have never ever seen Bokah shots like this so I am pretty pumped about them!!! So for all of these I am using a non-tilt/shift lens. just my trusty 28mm f/1.8 twisted off the mount
These shots are difficult to achieve because you have to manually focus while holding the lens off the mount, and it gives you a headache after too long but its so worth it!
It was a great light show moving about in my viewfinder, so I shot until my arms were tired from the task of twisting the lens around and holding it up to catch the light just right.
This one looks like the sun with flames exuding from it! amazing
You can see how the focus plain goes from front to back to top to bottom
It was great fun I am for sure going to have one enlarged! Which one do you like best?

Ryan, I love the first one. Because it doesn’t even look like rain… it could be fairy dust or something. Very cool 🙂
Um…I like them all? That’s no help I know. I wonder what the flames one would look like aligned portrait instead of landscape. When I leaned my head way over, it seems like it might be even better. Not that it not cool already. 🙂
i like the first one too! they are all so cool!
that’s some nice bokeh…
The first and the last one are my favorites but they are all AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the one you said looks like a sun. Seems to have a trail, like a shooting star. Blow that one up.
