Here are a few example shots that I have taken with the Canon 24mm f3.5L II tilt/shift lens.

The camera used was a Canon 1DsII

Hope you like them

Very nice indeed! I have the 28 and 35mm shift lenses for my Nikon - but I do lust for the 24mm T/S .

Great photos again Scuff - you really do take some good shots and I'm envious!

They certainly are very nice indeed!

Gorgeous. Especially the middle one.

Thanks for you kind comments guys.

Very, very nice :clap:

Very nice.

I hope you'll pardon the "noob" question, but what does a "tilt shift" lens allow you to do?

I thought it was the one people used to make the fake miniature pictures.

Great pictures absolutely stunning stuff.

Cheers

Dave.

Very nice.

I hope you'll pardon the "noob" question, but what does a "tilt shift" lens allow you to do?

I thought it was the one people used to make the fake miniature pictures.

A tilt lens allows you to change the orientation of the plane of focus (in a standard lens the objects in focus are all at the same distance from the camera - by tilting this plane you can get objects at different distances (but on the same plane) to be in focus).

A shift lens is usually used in architectural photography to prevent converging lines on tall buildings. It allows a displacement of the lens parallel to the image plane (in effect allowing you to capture more of the 'top' of a building without having to point the camera upwards).

A tilt-shift lens allows you to do either or both. The effect people use to fake miniature photos in Photoshop/software is (badly) named after the these type of lenses as they would be needed to produce the photo optically without any post-processing.

Thanks Mort, good explaination.

Some say that correcting verticals in software does the same job. It has been shown however that the image quality loss is a bout 30% over doing it 'in camera'. With software correction most people also forget that they have to alter the height of the building as well!

I use the 90mm TS-E as well, but mainly for commercial product shots. like this.

Lovely pics as ever. Great to see you back

Some of the best photographs I have ever seen, well done.

Thank you all for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.

I've had a play with a T&S lense, but I wouldn't use one enough to buy one. Nice results, there!

Those are absolutely cracking pictures. Well Done!

Hi Loz. I was doing some landscapes in the lake district, this shot was at Derwent Water. It was raining on and off, when a shaft of sun set the rainbow off.. It was so vivid that I almost forgot to take some pics. It was awesome watching it.

Great to see you back Graham and great photos as always

Thanks for the welcome, it's great to be back in a VRS again. My other half, 'Lainey' and myself have just aquired a VRS each and have joined the site again.

This was taken with a Canon G10 compact, edited in Lightroom, Silver effex pro and topaz.
