This was captured with a DSLR and a 45mm shifting lens.
This “portal” type transmission pylon, looking like part of an army of somewhat menacing giant robots, is part of the Pacific AC Intertie, one of the two major power transmission trunks running up and down the western US. It can carry about 5 gigawatts of electric power.
Do not touch.
@mattblaze@federate.social only one gif comes to mind.
@mattblaze@federate.social 45 mm with shift is so specific that one doesn’t need any more detail to know what lens that was 😉
Do/did you use that one often? How useful did you find it for your type of subjects in context of FOV in combination with its shifting range?
