So you're basically lens whacking...

Three reasons to buy a TS lens: less hassle, less sensor dust, more control.

Go buy a lensbaby! Be a lot less likely to damage a real lens that way...

this was aimed at kids/ new photographers who usually start with a kit. I have a TS lens but why would i show it in the video haha.

 

[rexbobcat]

I have to agree that lens babies are pretty cheap ad a much more effective solution.

like mentioned before, this is for the kids/ new photographers who cant afford that when they first start. ( Usually kit users ). Lens babies are amazing and my cousin has the "composer".

You gave the impression that all the photos in the video were done with your low rent lens tilt... so you cheated and used a tilt-shift? For shame! I am so disillusioned!

 

[mikermccue]

In my opinion, yes. for the price you buy it at. I dont actually own one . i own the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8. got it at an insane price for $550 and its usually $1200

I don't understand.

None of your examples are like what you get from a TS.

 

[mikermccue]

What can I clarify?

 

[MK3Brent]

I don't think you know what tilt shift is.

Your examples are (at best) under exposed shallow depth of field.

If you wanted to show off a feature of tilt or shift, you would have shown the photo of the camera lens with shallow depth of field but all the text on the angle in focus. That's an example of a tilt shift lens being used to solve a particular problem.
