Unusual photo kit. I think there's supposed to be a rail for the bellows. SW

Bellows section looks awfully short as well- possibly cut or torn.
Copious amounts of duct tape holding the extension tube on the end as well.
Looks actually quite a bit like a War 1 gas mask snootle.

Home made "LensBaby" attempt?
Comment

It looks like a modified lensbaby adapter ~ sort of a redneck attempt at shift movements- which have already had a workable system designed into the original shift type lenses. Such a set up would suffer from control, and repeatability issues. The big miss here is lack of reference to the focus plane. It may work for crazy special effects, but just try doing the same thing twice :P

Moulting teenager geese on the Red River near the mouth of the Assiniboine.
Image is a considerable crop from the original. 1/320 sec f8 at ISO 64 with the O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2.
Provencher pedestrian suspension bridge over the Red. Known in local parlance as the "dink" bridge.
O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2 at f8 again.
Canadian Museum for Human Rights. What an architectural dream, and an erector's nightmare. Straight lines are rare on this structure. Horrid resemblance here to a cow patty.
O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2 at f5.6.

O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2 yet again:
At f8 here and ISO 64. I like this rendering a lot. Slightly manipulated in post for contrast and exposure. Not sharpened.
Considerable crop of upper left hand corner.
This lens seems to minimize it's barrel distortion by being shot vertically.
Dried clay and vegetation along the north bank of the Asssiniboine river.

The geese around here are getting mighty tolerant of people.
O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2 at f 5.6, ISO 64. In camera monochrome.
Provencher pedestrian bridge over the Red almost converging with the road bridge here.
Same as above except f8.
More to add to this set in a bit. There's some cropping/editing to do first.

In the '90s I worked at General Motors Warren Tech Center. That place is over-run with geese, apparently attracted by the cooling ponds. No matter what time of year, the geese are not only tolerant, they resent people. At the right time of year, you would drive onto the Warren Tech Center and it would be like Moses parting the Red Sea -- huge mobs of goslings, from curb to curb, and they would only grudgingly move out of the way of your car.Comment

My mom had a yard goose for years. Best guard dog possible.
If it moved it got honked at. Turns out geese have remarkable vision. Set foot in her yard and you got chased.
People around here lose cats and small dogs to coyotes all the time but the coyotes may have been afraid of that goose.Last edited by Dragonsdad; 07-17-2023, 05:16.Comment

The only experience I have with geese are the white (domestic ?) geese. A nearby city has a huge park with lakes full of ducks and geese. I went there a few times to feed them taking about half dozen loaves of bread. The geese only bit me when they were trying to get the bread out of my hands. Some of them would tug on my pants leg like a dog if they didn't get enough attention/food. Really had no problem with them.
Canadian geese may be a whole different story though.Comment

In camera monochrome continues here for a bit.
Fire exit at the Human Rights museum.
Same lens as above at f5.6

Wide open at f2 and minimum focus distance with the O.C. nikkor 35mm f2 lens fully extended. 1/80 sec at ISO 64 right at sunset.
About an 80% crop.
