PBase has a cool feature where you can search by lens. I searched for a few I was interested in, and came across some amazing photos taken with Canon’s 24mm Tilt-shift lens. Tilt-shifts are weird, and descriptions of them are either very<\/em> basic (first sentence on the Wikipedia article), or very<\/em> complex (involving the Scheimpflug principle).<\/p>\n

I came across one particularly neat gallery<\/a>. Tilt-shifts are known for two things. One is that you can use them to correct the ‘distortion’ where lines seem to converge. Check out this photo<\/a> as an example, and another<\/a>. Notice how nice and vertical the lines are? Compare it to this one, which is still a neat photo, but notice how all the building seem to ‘slant.’ (And an extreme example<\/a>: it becomes more pronounced at wider angles.)<\/p>\n

The other thing it’s good for, though, is playing ‘tricks’ with depth of field. An example<\/a>. And here’s one with it tilted to the right<\/a>.\nSo I think I want to try a 24mm TS<\/a> lens some time.<\/a><\/p>\n

As an aside, since all my photos were to this one neat gallery, I’ll point out some that have nothing to do with tilt-shift, but are just cool. This one<\/a> is one of the more brilliant uses of unusual angles. (It’s the same concept as some other photos I saw once, which was done on ice\/snow for an even cooler effect.) It’s really pretty remarkable. This one<\/a> is cool, too. (And another<\/a>.) Here’s a great one<\/a> of Boston Harbor. And here’s one<\/a> showing how cool a 12mm lens is. I think it saw some post-processing, but this one<\/a> is really cool, too. Ibid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But my favorite, by far, is this set<\/a> of Logan. Last time I flew into Logan, all I could think was, “Wow, this would be a great spot for photos.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
