I tried out a tilt-shift lens to see what effect this created, it was interesting to try and as you can see the shift has a noticeable affect, turning the lens left and right.
With the shift over to the left above and right, below.
I found it rather fiddly to use since the shift has to be turned and then manually focused. Interesting operation though to see the lens actually moving from left to right.
The pictures below show the tilt in operation, the first taken as a straight 45mm shot,
then with the tilt up which throws the bottom of the picture out of focus,
finally with the tilt down which throws the top slightly out of focus, although it is difficult to see this clearly on blogger.
Although these lenses were developed to correct perspective in architectural photography, they have since been used to create some very interesting artistic effects, although they remain very expenses items of equipment, usually beyond the means of the amateur photographer.
