So how does he shift the lens? He just compresses the side of the plunger?

Yea, I was wondering the same thing. Tilt seems obvious. Shift seems hard if not impossible. Nice little hack regardless.

There is nothing bad in the video. It's just the theme song. There is no video just the blue screen and words you see on the preview, lol. You can listen to it just don't search the name that's all.

I thought Benny Hill would be kind of educational, you know that thing about the birds and bees

Alpha DO NOT do a search for Benny Hill if you don't know who he is!!!!

I have no clue who he is, so I won't have anything to do with him or your video then.

Here is a better adaptation for an Iphone, I know it is just showing an Ipod classic but I think an Iphone will work just fine

I'm not sure that's Freudian, Niko. It seems like a very appropriate and witty name for a plunger lens. Now if you'd left out the l in the first word...

Funny true story from my undergrad days: someone was supposed to be Freud for a group discussion in a class—you know, study his ideas and be ready to defend them in the discussion. The girl who got assigned Freud goes to talk to the teacher and says, "I'd rather be someone else. I'm afraid that even pretending to be Freud will get some of his ideas IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS." [I added the emphasis]

WOW. Totally different definitions!

No, I read the dictionary fine. It's Just that I use a quick right click, and the word I needed to know was Freudian. So I right clicked it, and the definition popped up.

Whatever. Can we just erase all the posts above until

LOL, that guy is crazy!

I wouldn't mind a cheap tilt and shift lens actually :^)

You can keep that one. I've had enough of this for a day.

Are you serious?! You can't even read the dictionary?
Sorry this is the definition I was referring to

FREUDIAN SLIP: A slip of the tongue in which a person means to say one thing, but accidentally substitutes another word or phrase in a suggestive or revealing manner.

I didn't mean to call the DIY plunger lens a tilt-S**t lens, ROFLMAO!

This post is getting so off topic. That's only because it's just the two of us. If there were more we'd probably be having a good discussion.

DID you have to say the word "Freudian"! Of course I looked it up in the dictionary and now I have a lot more understanding than I need!

NikoDoby said:
OH WOW that was totally a Freudian slip!!! Sorry alpha that wasn't on purpose, ROFLMAO!!! That was hilarious. My wife thinks I'm crazy laughing at the computer now! I tried to explain it to her but she looked at me like, "how old are you again?"

I did not get it until now! OMG, Niko, cut it out!

:^(

Did you read that guys bio? He claims to work for Industrial Light & Magic! I hope you know that they do all the movie special effects?!

LOL, that guy is crazy!

Sorry to hijack your thread Alpha. So back to the comments of attaching an SLR lens to an iphone.

Nevermind. I've done that plenty of times to you. Anyway, Help-Portrait is much more important than this. I hope we got the word out this time, but I doubt it based on the fact that we're the only ones posting here :^(

Yeah I'd really like to share the experience with you guys and gals. Maybe someone would enjoy having their picture posted up online. However people in need usually don't want to advertise to the world that they are homeless or living in a shelter, etc... Especially kids.

Sorry to hijack your thread Alpha. So back to the comments of attaching an SLR lens to an iphone.

Willis would you do this to your Leica, I mean iphone with a Leica sticker on it?

I'd feel like a jerk anyway if I did something like that.

The website itself said don't do this for your website, for stock, or whatever. Do it for those in need.

So it'll be the same with me.

I know, I read it. I was just asking. I'll be with a group. We'll see how it goes. I probably won't be posting pictures to share here though :^(
I don't plan to take any model release forms or anything like that.

I'm doing something on my own. I gave a quick explanation in my last post in the other thread.
