I'll Tilt-Shift The World (or at least the majority of Belfast)

Got caught in a heavy downpour.  Had to hide my camera under my jacket.  Sadly, I was shooting with my homemade tilt-shift lens.  So that meant I also had to hide my massive and heavy 90mm Mamiya lens...and the bellows of a plunger.  But I got this...

 An old clock tower that seems like it may have also dealt with a severe storm or two in its life.

Out Of Focus

Having a subject that isn't in focus is normally an issue.  Sometimes, though, it's exactly what's needed to make the photo just different enough to be noticed.  I've been meaning to get a photo that would look good even though it isn't in focus.  I think I succeeded.

I went out with the goal of getting some good bokeh.  I did get some (look to the lights on the light posts) but it isn't the main subject.  This just means you can look forward to a shot where the subject is out of focus lights.
