I gave in and rented the Canon 45mm Tilt Shift lens for the weekend of this wedding. I specifically wanted it for the wedding the next day which was in the forest during the middle of the day. I thought the T/S lens would help with the harsh shadows from the overhead sunlight. I’m still getting the hang of the lens, but I think it is a bit overused in wedding photography. I’m superbly impressed with Keith Loutit’s use of it in his stop motion videos. Check out his video, Bathtub III.

- This is probably one of your best wedding posts yet. You're right about the tilt shift lens being overused in wedding photography. It probably has something to do with how good it makes photos look.July 31, 2009 - 2:11 am
- Greetings from Baku, Azerbaijan! Great set Ben. The third from the bottom makes me feel like I'm in some hip commercial for a Scion car haha. Have you tried to emulate the tilt shift effect in photoshop? I've never used a ts lens before. They look fun though!July 31, 2009 - 2:44 am
