So, every since I came across Vince Laforet’s (vincentlaforet.com) work I’ve been infactuated with the whole tilt shift look. The tilt shift lenses for Canon are not very cheap to come by, so some of my friends have been playing around with breaking their lenses off the camera and tilting it themselves. Continue after the jump to see what I’ve done just messing around myself. I started doing a lot of reading on figuring out the differences between a lens baby and the tilt-shift lens, and the big difference is that the lens baby changes the sweet spot for focus while the tilt shift changes the actual plane of focus. Anyway until I can afford to buy an actual lens from Canon, I’ll be experimenting with the technique of breaking the lens off the camera more. Here’s a shot I got just playing around next to my computer with my 50mm f/1.8 lens.
