Kirislin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Has anyone got a tilt shift lens? I am not intending to rush out and buy one but I like the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You can do the effect in PS if you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I've been tempted to buy one to play with, but never get around to it. I don't mind the effect when it's used well but there are far more images out there where I don't think the TS offers much to enhance the photo really. I think it's tough to learn when the effect is essential to get the image right but I'm sure it's great fun to play with. I can see one in my future, especially if I ever decide I want to shoot buildings and the like - they are an essential piece of gear for architecture etc. From what I've seen of the people I know using it for portraits/people & general scenery they get awfully excited about using it for the first six months or so and then start to pull back and eventually come to realise that it was a little hokey after all. Maybe not *bad* hokey, but a little hokey...sometimes verging into the realm of selective colour :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 It's very gimmicky, I dont mean I'd like to see it used everywhere but I find if fascinating for scenery/landscape/streetscape type shots. I just watched a video of the effect, not done with a tilt shift. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jBofJ7_69o...feature=channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) I have a 45mm one, I haven't used it much yet though. This guy does some nice stuff with one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/80102167@N00/...57623362097102/ Edited March 7, 2010 by ruthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nah, that was the OLD plan! I like this newer one better. Kirislin & other DOLers should come have a play, too, I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
