I captured this photo of the Neuse River in Raleigh, North Carolina using a 24mm Tilt Shift lens on a 35mm Canon 1Ds Digital SLR. By tilting the lens, the plane of focus has been applied directly to the tree in the center while the edges fall off out of focus. Using a tilt shift lens can lend itself to many unique photo opportunities as well as practical applications - for example, by shifting the lens up or down, you are able to keep your perspective in line when shooting architecture. As seen below in this kitchen photograph, the vertical lines within the cabinets and the window pane are perfectly straight. This is due to the camera and lens being parallel to the floor. By shifting the lens up or down, you are able to compose your shot and maintain correct perspective. Tilt and shift is standard practice on large format 4x5 or 8x10 cameras, but Canon has 3 different 35mm Tilt Shift lens for film or digital SLR cameras.
