How to use a Tilt-Shift Lens
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 12. 2020
- This week I walk through how to use a tilt-shift lens in photography using the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L lens as an example. I examine how tilt-shift lenses work and how they can be used in architectural photography, landscape photography for panoramas, product photography, and how they can be used creatively for the miniature effect.

Hands down the best tilt shift tutorial video I have seen so far.
This is one the clearest explanations of a tilt shift lens I’ve seen on CZcams thus far! I really appreciate this video, and I learned a lot! ❤
Thanks for the video, Grant. I know I am late to the party, but I just wanted to say that this is probably the best explanation of tilt-shift lenses that I have seen.
The clearest explanation of tilt shift I have seen on YT, thank you.
ikr! undercover master class
I own a 24mm canon t&s, been on my camera 3 times, i need to get it out of my bag and put some miles on it, I learned something new about the three paint cans in focus, I was using the stacking method to get stuff like that in focus, this will change a lot, and the panoramic view I will try that this coming weekend.... wow... thanks for this video...
Mind blowing! I thought these lenses only for miniature effect... Amazing video and explanation. Thank you so much.
What’s sad is how man videos describe these serious lens as novelty items…for creating effects. Even a leading lens adapter manufacturer did as well.
Best explanation of tilt shift lense so far 🔥🔥
This was a very well done and easy to understand explanation of how to use a tilt-shift lens. I own a first-version Canon 24mm f/3.5 L tilt-shift lens and use it for shooting architecture and interior design photography. Thanks for a very well done video.
THANK YOU! First time EVER someone explained to me the intricacies of a tilt-shift lens! Excel lent video!
Great explanation Grant. Going out in my city now with my 2nd hand Canon 24 mm to try out the given possibilities
thank you Mr. Grant
Thanks!
I haven’t used a tilt shift so I really appreciate what you’ve gone to the trouble of teaching us in this video. Your presentation and pedagogy is very good, I learned a lot. That’s the beauty of photography, it’s very long journey. 👏 thank you.
Great explanation! Thanks!
Fantastic explanation -thanks
Awesome explanation.
👍👍👍 Very well explained, better than many big name CZcamsrs. Thumbs up.
Excellent tilt-shift tutorial! The best I've seen.
Just discovered your videos. Working on my winter project of learning how to use my new TS lens. Thanks for a great video!
Great information! Thanks for the video.
Absolutely wonderful explanation and examples! Thanks for sharing this!
One of the best video’s explaining the use of a tilt shift lens. I have the Nikon 24mm but need to use it more.
Yes I am strongly agree with you, Michael Engels.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Great explanation!
I am using a 24mm TS-E and it's wonderful. The price is indeed very expensive but when you see how it's complicate to build this vs a classic prime lens and the small market, it's quite logic. Mine is a 2nd hand for about the half of the price.
Oh yeah, the price makes sense given how complex they are and their limited sales numbers. Glad you liked the explanation.
I used to drool over the Lindhoff camera, which exposed 3 x 120 frames at once in a single shot, their advertisment says “photograph all you can see”, it was fantastically expensive.
Be nice if some company could make a digital bellows camera so you could tilt it every which way, they were commonplace in the ‘70s. The old style view cameras exposed directly onto a glass plate which you developed yourself.
At the end of the day, the TS lens is the most cost effective solution compared to a dedicated bellows camera. I think Canon are releasing an RF version which has auto focus. The TS used in the video would be manual focus.
Excellent video. All my questions and curiosities were answered. You took all the unknowns and explained the benefits in a very easy to follow manner. Thank you.
This is such informative introduction of how to use TSE lense. Totally love it. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are an excellent instructor, thank you for making this video.
Underrated youtube channel. You deserve more subs!
Thanks Grant! I actually bought a tilt shift (Budget Option Laowa) lens and you helped a lot with the first steps
Great! I'd love to see some of the images you produced with it.
Clear and concise.🧐 I don't agree that these tilt-shift or perspective control lenses are 'ridiculous to own'. I just bought a Nikon 24 mm PC secondhand in nice condition. This can be used as an excellent (although relatively heavy) wide-angle lens without tilting or shifting. Its minimum focus distance is 20 cm. I habitually take close-ups of plants while trying to get their backgrounds in focus too. I would also have taken more architectural photographs in the past if verticals didn't converge so much. 🦥
Thanks for the excellent demonstration of the Image on the Sensor. Now I understand a Tilt-Shift lens (Even though I'll never get one).
Great video!
Very nice articulate instruction. Thank you.
I can’t decide if I want to use the 24mm or the 50mm TS. Best to hire them.
If you want a cheap tilt-shift lens, Arax has a few really nices ones. They're completely manual, so no talking to the camera in any way, and they got them for several different mounts. I got their 28mm, and have had a lot of fun with it. I have it for the Pentax K-mount, and have now adapted it to the Samsung NX mount, and it's still fun for both photography and video.
You are a great teacher. Thanks guy.
Thanks mate
Excellent explanation. I want a TS lens now!
Awsome! Thank You!
Superb tutorial! - really appreciated. Just a acquired a 2nd hand 24mm version and am looking forward to trying out around London.
Great video on TS-e lenses. I started off renting the lenses and I’m now buying them. They have so many different uses and the image quality is amazing.
I know I've said that they're too expensive for most photographers, but I kinda want to buy one too. They're really nice lenses.
fantastic walk through- thank you!
your explanation is very easy to understand and helpful thanks lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation and examples. Thank you.
Clearly explained and well presented. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Grant. It is one of the best videos in explaining the use of a tilt shift lens.
Glad it was helpful!
You’re doing great work👏👏
I got the Samyang 24mm f/3.5 TS. Very affordable but fully manual, non-CPU.
Thanks Grant, I appreciate they way you explained this lens. I just got one and thought I knew what I was getting into and now I understand a lot better!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice illustrations, Grant. Thank you.
Glad you like them. I hope they helped visualize what's going on inside the camera and lens.
@@GrantTakesPictures Yes, they certainly did. Gosnel
Thank you for this really illuminating and helpful video. I found it incredibly useful. I was also intrigued by the accessory you had on the camera hot shoe.
Incredible explanation!
Great video!! Well thought out and presented!
Thanks, Todd! Glad it was useful to you.
excellent explanation, great tutorial, thank you so much!
That’s so awesome.. i definitely want one more to take some reeeal real estate photography without the pyramid effect. Examples were fire 🔥🌅🔥
Great explanation & video, thank you! 👏🏻🙂
This is such a great video. Thanks so much !
Awesome-Thank you for this!!
Grant, stumbled on you as I was searching for videos on tilt-shift lenses. I thought you provided a lot of good information in a clear way. I have watched a few other videos and I 'm still confused between shift vs tilt. If I rotate the lens so that shift is on top for architecture photography, isn't that the same as using the tilt on top ? I'm not clear on how they each work differently. thx.
Thanks, I don't think I will ever get one. But I have always been currious as to what these lenses do and how they work :)
I'm glad you found it interesting. I hope I was able to answer all of your questions about the lens. I don't think I'll ever own one either, but it has been a lot of fun to rent.
They are invaluable to have if you are a pro architectural photographer, though! Good tutorial!
Such an amazing video, all so well explain!! Thank you so much
Thanks for uploading it👍
Very helpful. Thanks.
I have the ts-24 and ts-17... for architectural photography i don't want any other. I prefer the raw imagem and merge them.
Great tutorial, greatly appreciate it. One thing I realized I really want to know while watching is how to get continuous focus and straight lines in a landscape image at lower f-stops. For instance, one of your lighthouse images at the lens’s sweet spot (around f/5.6), but without the bokeh that would normally occur at that f-stop, and with straight lines. Still learning, so not even sure if that’s possible.
Jeffy, I'm not sure what you're describing is possible. To me, it sounds like what you would want is to focus stack a series of images so that each image captures a different focal plane in focus. I'm not quite sure what you mean by getting straight lines.
thank you. learned a lot
You are welcome!
Canon makes some good tilt and shift lenses vs Nikon. Especially for architecture and also for panorama work when you prefer to be close to the subject the tilt works very well. I have shot panoramas quite a bit and in order to get a perfect straight line you have to have some distance for the sensor to be in perfect vertical. So the tilt shift does help when you are close to the subject. Thanks for the video.
Canon’s tilt-shift lenses seem to be the go-to for most people, but not the only option on the market. There are a lot of creative uses for tilt-shift lenses I didn’t cover. This 14mm lens is just too wide to demonstrate some of the landscape and portrait uses of tilt-shift. I’ll have another video in a couple weeks reviewing this specific lens and that’s one of the things I’m going to say about it.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
I doubt 'lot of photographers have a ts lens but never use it'. I've been photographing digitally for 13 years, including buildings and landscapes but I never felt the need to buy it. I might purchase one in the future though although it's use is quite limited
Great review thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. I like my TSE lenses.
Nice, Thanks!
I would have liked to have seen the primer can vertical, not leaning inwards. Can that be achieved ?
What about distortion control?
For those who can’t spell / dyslexic like me, it’s spelled “Scheimpflug principle”.
Orange County Florida?
California.
Tilt near focus far repeat, use live view.
I use this lens all the time. It produces very sharp images all the time. But, I stop down to f14-18 when I shift. If you are doing this wide open at f4 then, of course, you are going to get poor sharpness in the far reaches.
5:37 Yes...but then you loose massive crop from the bottom ?
I would be grateful if you showed a close-up of the lens at 14:50 so that I know what you did, this is of no use to me :(
Is it ridiculous to own instead of rent? You can buy them used and essentially never lose resale value but most rental firms charge a pretty high fee
It really depend on how much you’re using it, and how much you’re willing to spend on your hobby. If it’s something that is going to make you money, then it’s a pretty simple cost/benefit calculation.
No point of renting. You gonna recover most of your initial purchase years later when you decide to sell it. Lenses only keep going up in price.
