Twisted Perspectives

Twisted Perspectives Special photography and image processing for practical needs. Tool and processing examples. This page is about getting an image.

Not on the level of high-end art photography. My background is photography for technical documentation and discussion. This started with Nikon SLRs / slide film and sometimes with a special panoramic camera (Horizon 202). I continued later to architectural photography with a Toyo view camera and some Schneider and Nikkor lenses. Sister site about scale models and photography: https://www.facebook.com/Maquettoscope/

My digital photography started with Sony Mavicas, Nikon Coolpix´is and Nikon D1. For technical documentation, i liked the Coolpix E4500 with converters. Now, i am still using an old Leica D-Lux4 and Panasonic 0.75x converter (18 mm equivalent) and Leica V-Lux. I have a practice of using Oloneo PhotoEngine "one frame HDR" and PTLens perspective tools all the time. All images are processed for practical needs, for getting them clear, accessing a suitable presentation perspective and cleaning off most of the disturbing elements. For perspective correction and panorama, as an example, this means fabrication of the missing corners and edges. Cleaning off disturbing element was a dream on the days of film, now i am happily using it! There are no direct "snapshots", all images are processed to the far limits of "honest" photography or well ower it. - I feel free to tonal adjustments and perspective changes in my processed images - thats "Twisting" - "no Filters" - In finnish, i call my pictures "kuvaleita" or in english "piclies", not "pictures". My old basic image processing tools:
Oloneo PhotoEngine * http://www.oloneo.com/
PTLens 9 * http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/
PTGuiPro 10 * https://www.ptgui.com/
DxO ViewPoint 3 * http://www.dxo.com/us/photography/photo-software/dxo-viewpoint/features
IrfanView * http://www.irfanview.com/
PhotoShop Elements 15, as a filter basis and web image processor. About creative photography:

It´s nice to have still the origin as a company and location

Während Canon, Sony und Nikon längst in Japan und anderen asiatischen Ländern produzieren, hält Leica eisern an seinem Standort Wetzlar fest. Das Wall Street Journal widmete dem deutschen Kamerahersteller diese Woche einen ausführlichen Bericht und bezeichnete das Unternehmen als seltenes Beispiel erfolgreicher europäischer Fertigung. 📸

Always loved this image from 1976 - on the right is a photographer called Lino.

A photographer who, frustrated by issues with commercially available studio equipment, turned his hand to making photographic accessories - because that man was Lino Manfrotto.

Lino is pictured here with business partner Gilberto Battocchio.

On this day in 1987 a group of hired labourers carried 700 old hospital beds onto Saunton Sands in Devon, England, for a photo shoot by Robert Dowling & Storm Thorgerson.

Carefully arranged they were to form the cover to the iconic Pink Floyd album 'A momentary lapse of reason'

Despite meticulous planning the weather intervened, with rain forcing the shoot to be abandoned, the exercise was repeated a few weeks later.

By coincidence 1987 was also the year that Photoshop was first developed (although it wasn't marketed until 1988) fast forward a few years and thanks to Photoshop, AI, and other graphic handling/manipulation programmes we are unlikely to ever see the likes of this epically staged photo shoot again.

A very happy birthday to Sir David Attenborough, who was born on this day, May the 8th, in 1926 making him 100 years old today.

English broadcaster, natural historian, conservationist, writer, producer and narrator Attenborough has been on our TV screens, fostering a love of nature in millions of individuals, for seventy two years.

Seen some small and large twist-lens panoramic cameras and had a russian Horizon as one of my work cameras. May have some wide film-size frames rolled somewhere (maybe 5" wide slides) 🤔

The long-awaited WideluxX camera is now available for preorder at WideluxX.com. Guest author and star YouTuber PeterMcKinnon gives us his take on this exciting news!
