Hi, if you were to line up your verticals, the horizon will be somewhere in the middle of the frame. That's just the way it works.

Shifu, think SkyStrike was trying to ask for the photos that the horizon is not in the middle, did you crop them? (Or did you use your tilt-shift lens ;)

Eh I got question of my own: for the reflections in your shots (eg #68 and #69) was the water still or you used ND filter to slow the shutter speed?

Anyway love this series! Everything seems right out of camera :)

Oh, I think I misread his question. Yes, most of those with off-centered horizon was shot with T/S lenses like these 3.

068 and 069 were shot early morning when water was still. No ND filters.

Thanks :)
 

Hi, yes that was taken with a TS-E 24mm.

There are numerous usage for tilt/shift lenses. What would you like to know?

could you in lay man terms explain to me the difference between the tilt up and the tilt down and the shift between left and shift to the right?

on the camera i spend a fair bit of time to adjust to the angel / perspective and start focusing. But i do not really understand the circumstances why i do that. i just go by how the picture looks through the viewfinder.
Also, if im tilting up all the way up, i find it hard to look through the viewfinder properly.

What about the focusing? how do i focus on the center of the picture with the top and bottom blur rather than the left and right? as the above stadium pic. Is it the tilting portion that controls if the photo will blur the left and right or the top and bottom? or is there any other thing i should take note of for the characteristic of this lens? I had shots from both type but i never really paid attention to what i was adjusting the knobs... lol
This lens is really quite hard to grasp but i think the process is quite fun!

In order to make a photo miniature with this lens, do we have to be very far from our subject with a very good dof? Im experimenting but the results are not fantastic or rather maybe quite fail comparing to the images i see online :(
