365.77 Pool of Dreams

Question: Why is there a tilt-shift type effect going on here? I’m probably going to take the 75-150mm E Series to the Arboretum for a meetup on Saturday, and I’m probably going to take it reversed, with ~30mm of extension tubes on the end as a sort of lens hood.

365.74 Ohne Titel (but it needs a good one)
