An experiment

Using a tilt-shift lens to get more depth of field in still life images. The pointy end of the skull is only a few inches from the lens and the boxes in the background are probably another 10 inches behind this. The lens is tilted to its maximum, making the plane of focus run from the bottom (near) of the image to the top (far) diagonally rather than the usual vertical plane. Whilst the skull and the cotton reel are in focus the bottles are not because they are outside of that diagonal plane. It seems to work so I'll have to think of other set-ups to use this.

In other news Yorkshire Water were in our garden this morning jetting the sewer for a neighbour. Oddly our drains don't connect to that sewer but it still runs across our property and has a manhole where the neighbours house joins it. Our waste goes down a different sewer on other side of the house! I'm sure they join up somewhere, just not under our garden.
