Tilt Lense Photography

[The Boosh!]

ANyone had a go at this?

Would you say its a bit gimmicky or do you use the lense regularly?

Really like the effect it produces.

never heard of it till just now, but looking at those photos and some others on google i think its pretty neat

You can make those in PS with any image cant you?

Tilt shift? There's a massive thread on here somewhere about it iirc..

One of my really early efforts -

When done well it looks superb. However to do it properly you need the lenses (£600+), you can replicate the results using photoshop, but it doesnt look quite the same (although some are done superbly).

I would love a tiltshift lens, but its a bit of a 1 trick pony and you would probably only use it once an event at most.

We've got a tilt shift lens at work, I've only had a quick play with it, quite hard to use to begin with. It's useful for product photography as you can increase the depth of field etc.

I like the effect,

The tilt shift lenses are as said expensive and i couldn't justify it over say a macro or wide angle lense that would be used in every day use...

Increase the DoF ?!

 

[dunganick]

The lens doesnt just reduce DOF front/back, depending what tilt you use you can increase the DOF, move the DOF, do all sorts of weird stuff. Apparently useful for portraits too. I might hire one sometime looks like a laugh.

Fair enough ! I've only ever seen them used for the 'toy' style pics as above :approve:

Just take a normal picture, blur the corners. There's a little more to it than that, but I wouldn't go spending out on a new lens for the effect!

heres a good tutorial for it: http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/index.html

fun way to play without buying a lens you wouldn't use too much.
