Rotate or “tilt” the paper in any direction, and that, in concept, will be the plane in sharp focus in your photo, different from a standard camera lens which fixes the plane of focus or “piece of paper” always parallel to the photographer. Using the “tilt” feature of the TS-E gives the photographer control over the plane of focus angle.Īn easy way to visualize this can be achieved by holding a piece of paper out in front of you and imagining that it is the angle of the camera’s sensor. I love the amount of flexibility the TS-E lenses give me, but I was not using the tilt function at all when I first started using these lenses. These small reductions in workflow time add up to larger gains in aggregate. Boom, one frame, no need to spend time stitching multiple photos in post-processing. The shift function of a TS-E lens gives me control of camera perspective during a real estate shoot which just can’t be done during post-processing in certain situations, and I use the shift function of the TS-E lenses to some degree on 90% of my interior/exterior shots.įor example, I can set up a camera on a tripod at eye level in order to see over a countertop and then down “shift” the lens in order to still capture the flooring in the frame. There’s a point to all this: expediting workflow also gave me a solid reason to pick up a couple of tilt-shift (TS-E) lenses. So in order to maximize my return and also meet my clients’, sometimes same day, marketing schedules’, I focused on minimizing my workflow, getting my shots done in camera as much as possible, and “quick and dirty editing”. My typical client wants wide and bright photos, with an emphasis on quick turn around time.
