Quick example of image plane tilt effect

[glasslover]

Hi!

I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago with the Canon FD TS 35/2.8 lens. I'd never used a tilt lens before, so didn't expect spectacular results, but perhaps interesting ones. With 15 only minutes available for photography, I got the gnarled tree that I posted earlier, and this.

Here is some information about the lens:

The photos that follow are the same shot, first full size and then cropped a couple of different ways. Shot raw, processed to jpeg in lr4, without any other processing other than resizing for the below.

Note how the man and the vertical stripe around him are in focus, but nothing else is. You can click any of the three photos to see the entire image in pixel-for-pixel full size detail.

Cheers!
