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.

Thank you very much tigs. I like the you-are-there clarity of this lens.

It also seems to be an extremely niche lens. Not many made & not many sold.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

Thank you, everyone. I'm glad you liked the picture.

It was shot from a low angle, which hides the footpaths and makes it look wilder than it really is.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
