Alan Weitz from B&H takes you thru the process of using a tilt-shift lens and shows a lot of the cool tricks that you can do with one of those. ; From correcting distortion to selective focusing techniques, these lenses seem really cool. ; I have never used one and really wasn't sure how they worked, but I can see them being very useful at walt disney world during a night time photo tour of world showcase. ; I just might have to put one of those on my list... ; Enjoy the video!

They're really fun.

I rented one during my honeymoon in 2000. ; Tried to use it to get SE without the hand/wand 2000 logo in the shot.

Need to fig up those negatives......

They look like a good time waiting to happen. ;

Then you can take shots like these. ; I really would like to experiment with these T/S lenses

they were kind of forgotten technology for awhile, relegated to the specialists in architectural shooting, only understood by someone with a solid background in large format/view camera use, but the advent of good live view, particularly on full frame bodies has really changed all that, i've actually done quite a bit of online research into this, the only reason i haven't gotten one yet is because i'm waiting for my next body upgrade, which i assume will have live view, as that seems to be on it's way to becoming a cannon standard feature in all the bodies

I love those tilt-shift videos.

My favorite scene in this one was at 2:24, during Illuminations - I laughed out loud at the sight of all those camera and camcorder LCDs lit up in the bottom of the frame!
