well done! I thought the 24 vignettes at full
shift, but apparently not at ƒ/10.

It does. I corrected a bit of it using the
lens adjustments in Lightroom during the RAW
conversion. You can see it if you look
closely in the top right and left corners. I
probably could have completely eliminated it
but must have missed that.

I'm curious how big a difference the
polarizer made, since it's something on my
wish list. This is such a stunning
architectural shot. It really makes a lasting
impression. The sky is so blue, and that deep
blue reflection gives it strength.

Thanks Zak! The Circular Polarizer made a
very noticeable difference here and in my
opinion, is a required item in any serious
photographer's bag. Without the CP, the sky
isn't nearly as blue and other items in the
scene appear washed out as well. The brick on
the side of the building as well as the
foliage all benefit from the ability to cut
out glare and adverse reflections.
Make sure you purchase a multicoated
circular polarizer though. Hoya's S-HMC, HMC
and HMC Pro1 line of filters are acceptable.
You can find these on eBay or places like
FilterHouse.com for the best prices. Be
prepared to spend close to $150 or more for a
good one in the 72-77mm range.

i want to get this lens, but im not sure if i
need it. i've been correcting in photoshop.
if you didn't have it, would you pay 800 usd
for it?

popo y lolo, Yes, I would JUMP on it for
$800. I bought mine new for $1200.
You can correct in Photoshop but you lose
quality and information. Correcting in
Photoshop involves distortions that stretch
and compress the corners of the image and
require cropping to keep things square.
As for tilt, the effect is impossible to
accomplish in any way other than tilting the
front standard of the lens.

I envy you your lens. This is a great shot.
The building looks like the prow of a ship
slicing though the water.

Hi, iso 100. Congratulations again for your
shot. I olso own a 5D a this marbelous 24
TS-E and my cuetion is: which polaricer did
you use, con I´m usin a Kenco 82mm reduced to
the 72 and I still have a lot of vignetting
at any f stop.

Ariel, I'm trying to remember. I'm not sure
if I used my Cokin P-System or not for this
shot. If I did, I used a Lee circular
polarizer. If not, it was a 77mm Hoya S-HMC
circular polarizer reduced to 72mm. Either
way, I had vignetting and had to both do some
retouching as well as cropping!

hello iso100, its a great photo! thank you
for sharing!
I am pretty curious, do the RRS L bracket
help you to shift up too (can it do that?) Is
there a replacement for the RRS brackets
(Manfrotto?) I am recording landscapes &
architectures, yes I do need to stitch the
photos when needed. Whats your say? Really
appreciate your comments.

Hmm... I suppose you could do that. The whole
idea of the RRS L bracket is that you don't
have to slop your ball head off to one side
(where it's unstable) and into the
"portrait" slot.
If you really needed to stitch a vertically
shifted yet landscape sensor oriented shot
you could put the head over at 90 degrees to
the ground and use the side of your L
bracket.
Moving the camera in the clamp while
shifting is really only needed if you have
foreground objects close to the camera you
don't want to have parallax artifacts for.
If it's just a wide shot without lots of
foreground elements you could probably just
shift the lens without compensating with
camera movement.

Oh, and I want to be clear as I'm not 100%
certain you knew this... the shifting lens
and camera technique only works with lenses
that shift. For Canon that's the TS-E lenses.
I'm not sure if Nikon has anything current.
There's also the MC-Hartblei offerings for
both as well as the Horseman bellows and some
other gadgets out there.

Nice. I'm thinking of buying this same setup
for architectural work. For now I shoot only
4x5 but I need something digital and
relatively cheap that will give me big enough
files; this seems like the right kit. What is
sharpness like up there in the right hand
corner ? What do you think of the 45mm TS-E
lens ? Thanks :)

Roidesours, sharpness is pretty good. It
obviously gets a little softer in the corners
when fully shifted, but for the most part
it's a very sharp lens.
I don't have the 45mm or 90mm, so I can't
comment on them, but I'm sure they're very
nice... and both have an f2.8 max aperture.
I can send you a link to the full image if
you want to pixel peep...
