Canon 24mm TSE: Austin, Texas Capitol Building

I went downtown to actually shoot this from afar but couldn’t resist visiting the grounds since it was such a nice day…more specifically a great cloud day.

I also wanted to take a few standard 24mm shots and then some from the same perspective with the tilt/shift to give you an idea of the kinds of things this lens can do.

24mm TSE: Austin’s 360 Bridge aka Pennybacker Bridge

This (Austin’s 360 Bridge also known as Pennybacker Bridge ) is one of my favorite landmarks to photograph in Austin. The only problem is that I’ve never been there to take pics @ sunset or sunrise………………….definitely a cardinal sin for sure for any photographer.

I have no excuses really, it’s close enough to me that it shouldn’t be a problem, I have just never taken the time (many things are like that).

This was a rare instance of free time recently that I was able to break away from the house for a couple of hours with my new lens. I wanted to see what the TSE lens would do with the bridge.

The few shots I was able to include a boat in seemed to work well with the “mini” look

The shots that included the bridge didn’t exactly make it mini but it seemed interesting enough. I think being as close to the bridge as I was though, I’d need a much further vantage point in order to miniaturize the bridge.

I like the way the shoreline trees came out through,

And here I got lucky with a Ryder truck on the bridge itself.

Canon 24mm TSE – More “mini” mansions from Mt. Bonnell

Some more pictures from my Mt. Bonnell trip with my new lens. I was practically the only one there that morning but then again it would be far more popular at dusk when the sun is setting!

I’m sure the residents of the area love the traffic that the park shoots through their neighborhood. Don’t cry too hard for them as I’m sure most, if not all of them are multi-million dollar homes!

I think this first one is my favorite of the lot, including ones in previous posts. I think it shows to be a great example of the miniature look.
