One of the meadows at the Fullerton Arboretum. This is a three shot composite taken with the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II tilt/shift lens, using both tilt and shift. Tilt moves the plane of focus from parallel to the sensor to almost perpendicular to it. That allows foreground plants to be in focus as well as background ones. Shift changes the angle of view and allows a wider perspective to be shot. Also used were two Lee grad ND filters to darken the sky and balance the exposure. The lens has no distortion to correct for and it's sharp from edge to edge, so making panoramas isn't too difficult.
