Gaia par Kris Lockyear, on ipernity

Giant art work hanging in the nave of Durham Cathedral intended to highlight the fate of the planet.

Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/3.5 shift lens, hand-held.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Impressive - particularly when you can't see what's holding the earth up .

Is the blue/purple lighting on the column and roof part of the 'art'? It would look a lot better without it IMHO.

The shift lens has worked nicely. Any idea whether the K3iii's tilt correction could have achieved the same or would the amount of sensor shift be too small for the height of the cathedral? Should have thought of trying it during my recent cathedral visits but was too distracted by having a fisheye in the camera bag...

Hi Steve,

As regards the purple, I'm not sure if it is "part of the art" of just the glow of the globe. I could try and edit it out.

I have no idea if the sensor shift would work that much. I've never tried it, just stuck to using my shift lens.

Best wishes, Kris.
