Could have been much worse!

Edmonton Fire Rescue crew pull their rescue boat up from the river at the scene of a truck that crashed over a barricade and went into the North Saskatchewan river near 38 St. and 105 Ave around 7:00 a.m. on Saturday December 13, 2008. The driver amazingly survived the crash with only frostbite and bruises and crawled up the embankment himself to safety. Photo by Ryan Jackson/Edmonton Journal   Read the story.

I got a chance to use my home made tilt-shift lens today! It’s made from a 75mm f2.8 Bronica Medium Format lens, a toilet plunger and a lot of glue. I’ll post pictures of it when I build my gadgets section some day.  Notice how the line of focus goes diagonally and only her face is in focus.
