If you’ve ever wondered about the effects of using a tilt-shift lens this video with host Vincent Laforet will show you some of uses such as:
- Correcting distortion caused by wide lenses and converging lines
- Create stitched images without distortion
- Creating miniature looking scenes by shifting the focus plane
- Achieving maximum focus on your subject using shift
Here are some of the Tilt-shift lenses mentioned in the video.
Obviously these are specialty lenses and not everyone has a need for, or can afford them. But perhaps if you have the ability you may want to rent one and play around. Check with your local camera store or online with places like Borrow Lenses. Or you can try the less expensive Lens Baby for making some fun effects.
Have you ever tried one out? Do you do the type of photography that requires a tilt-shift lens? Or is it a luxury for the wish list? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
