tilt & shift with Leica M


Recommended Posts

Im missing the point here...?

 

1. it is not a process for tilt-shift - and does not offer focus plane control.

 

2. There are perfectly good real TS lenses. but it would be kind of hard to control on the M.

You are right! This is not a process for real tilt&shift. But, you can make your photos look like tilt&shift-Photos (like a miniature world)!

I agree with Bo: this isn't tilt and shift that would be used for correcting convergence in architectural shots. This seems to be a process for creating pseudo Lens Baby shots where areas of focus are controlled by manipulating a Lens Baby in place of a conventional lens.

 

It wouldn't make any difference which camera the photo was shot with because the digital file's being manipulated in post-processing rather than while it's in teh camera.

 

It seems like quite an effecting process if that's the look you're trying to achieve, but it's not one that interests me at all. :)

PS can in fact be used to correct convergence in building shots, i.e., creating the equivalent of a shift rather than a tilt. This is different than the gimmicky effect, IMO, shown here.

 

I'd rather use a real tilt/shift lens for architectural shots so that the effect can be seen in camera. If I only have my M, I just use a wider lens, move back (if possible) and crop.

Tilt, more than shift, appears to be the sense of this.

Imitating the effect of what happens when you tilt a lens on a view camera going against the scheimpflug rule main goal.

Interesting.

Olivo Barbieri has been doing some interesting work with this approach in the past years.
