Control your DOF on the MKII
As posted, Canon just put out two new tilt and shift lenses....
for those folks that like maximum DOF control, here is a demonstration of a standard lens versus a tilt and shift... http://www.aobild.se/externalcontent...tar/tsdemo.htm And how it works... http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tut...ft-lenses2.htm |

These are great articles.
And it is interesting that the MKII has made it possible to get this kind of control in video, pretty much unheard of unless you really jury rigged something. I personally always loved to work with view cameras ever since the early 70's, but I never considered it for film / video. The more tools you have the better you can tell your story, and that is what it is all about. I think the MKII is the start of a revolution. |

Tilt shift is pretty specialized for video. About the only place I notice it is in Heroes, when one of the characters goes into a trance.

I hope to get a nice tilt/shift for my 5D2 some day, there are so many possibilities for unique images.
It would be funny if someone used it to get *deep* DOF. ("I went to 35mm and all I got was deep DOF and this lousy T-shirt") |

Hitchcock once wanted a shot with an extreme perspective of a gun barrel in the foreground and the shooter in the background, and he wanted everything in focus. The solution? Lots of lights, a small aperture - and a GIANT model of a gun!

This is similar, in some ways, to Ansel Adams bracketing his photos and intermixing the results to simulate extreme dynamic range.
