Location
I took this photo lying sprawled across the floor of my sister dark bedroom.Time
Well it was in winter, shortly after Christmas, and already late enough to be dark outside.Lighting
I placed a light chain with those big balls behind the miniature swing. Thats all there was to lighting.Equipment
I used my sweet, but now dead, Sony a58 for this one. As for the lens, I used the very old RICOH 50/f2 that i found that day in my fathers basement. It didn't fit the A-mount, of course, so i focused by just holding it in front of the mount with the aperture wide open. By holding it slightly tilted, I got that funny tilted plane of Focus effect.Inspiration
Actually I was just bored of the insanely bad weather at that time and i wanted to make use of the lens. So I asked my sister for advice (she is the creative one) and she mentioned that sweet mini-swing.Editing
I made the colors more vibrant and added that watermark in the negative space. That's all.In my camera bag
Now, a Sony a77, a Sigma 24 f2.8, a Minolta 50 f1.4 and a Walimex Pro 85 f1.4Feedback
Ger yourself an outdated vintage lens and play with the tilted plane of Focus. ;)
