My friend Erik at Big Folio was kind enough to let me borrow his new tilt-shift lens this afternoon for a shoot I'm doing on Sunday. I was playing with it this evening. I've read a lot of discussion about the lens online. A lot of people wonder what the point is of using it when you can blur out specific areas in Photoshop. In my opinion, I think the lens is great! Mostly because some of my best photos can end up being the "accidental" shots. Just from playing with the tilt-shift for about an hour, I can see how it can give a pretty sweet effect. And I figure why spend some time finessing a blur tool on photoshop when I can turn a knob on a lens in less than a second and get the same effect? Here are a few of the photos.
