  • thescimitar, on 06/19/2009, -0/+12Looks like you're getting buried for a simple question, and the wiki article is unclear. Tilt-shift lenses have a mechanical system, depending upon the camera system, that allows the optical elements to be shifted from their normal, "fixed" position (in parallel) to intersecting positions. This has the effect of changing the depth of field (the area described as "sharp") from a planar appearance to a band appearance. In other words, instead of every object a certain distance away from the lens appearing sharp, objects appear sharp along a band that transects multiple distances.

    There are many techniques and camera systems that use this. I owned one of the very nice Canon T/S lenses (which, true to their name, allow you to tilt the elements and shift the elements), the 90mm. T/S lenses for SLR systems tend to be costly.

    Large format view and field cameras also use the same principle, but instead of the elements being housed in a lens body, the lens is placed on a board and the film plane on a second board, which can be put at a wide variety of angles in opposition to each other. This enables a technique known as "Schiempflug" (I may have misspelled that, it's been a while) where you can obtain incredible depth of field effects.

    I hope that's more clear that the other smartass explanations.
  • malschla, on 06/19/2009, -1/+8So you don't know is what you're saying? The Digger is secure enough to admit he can't understand the terminology, basically asking for a translation. It would probably take you less time than you have spent being a little twerp about it. But, you probably don't know.
  • KayIslandDrunk, on 06/19/2009, -1/+7Nice, here's the link to get it in HD: http://vimeo.com/5137183
  • theOster, on 06/19/2009, -1/+7you had one chance, and you did not say "Thanks Ollie". these are facts.
  • Davers, on 06/19/2009, -4/+9So what does "tilt shift" mean? It just looks like a bunch of videos shot with too high depth of field, played back at 2x. I would hardly even consider them time lapse.
  • doublefelix, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5Someone needs to make a feature length Thomas The Tank Engine in tilt shift now.
  • Davers, on 06/19/2009, -1/+6As I said to KayIslandDrunk, "the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses." Doesn't mean anything to a non-photographer, so posting the wikipedia link doesn't really help. Clearly none of you *actually* know how tilt-shift works either then.
  • thescimitar, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5Also - on your question about what "movement" means - this describes (in photographer parlance) the action of changing the angle of the elements in a T/S lens, or literally moving the lensboard on a view/field camera. Thus a "movement" doesn't describe movement of the image, but rather, movement of the elements/board.

    The whole principle of this effect doesn't have anything to do with the time lapse, it is a technique and technology that is used with still or motion images. It often has the effect of making the "real world" look minuscule, so for this artist's concept, it has very nice results.
  • crazzy88ss, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5Thanks Ollie.
  • rchargel, on 06/19/2009, -0/+4This one's my favorite: http://vimeo.com/3156959
  • b1kerguy, on 06/19/2009, -0/+4makes me want to work at an industrial dock
  • CobraClutch, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3I enjoyed the Monster Truck one much more:

  • jakv5, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3Check out this tilt-shift of a ship being built:

  • Davers, on 06/19/2009, -3/+6Relax dude. I checked it, but it doesn't make sense to me (a non-photographer) "Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses." I didn't see any movement.
  • lllslinklll, on 06/19/2009, -1/+4Was that song written after the guy got out of prison? God lord...
  • Lawbringer, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3looks like Lego!
  • divinediva, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3What an excellent way to make photography into a more ‘living form’.
  • annjay, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Simply an amazing collection
  • user24, on 06/19/2009, -2/+4I don't understand - how do they make the models so detailed?
  • mercano, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Dude, that's allot of legos!
  • misterparry, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3I don't wanna go down either.
  • kreatre2007, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3Meh. The music screws it up. Bad choice.
  • amitait, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2The ripples are too small
  • jakv5, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2A ton of cool ship time-lapse videos here:
    http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/tag/time-lapse-p ...
  • TheFamousOne2, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Wish I knew what camera he was using.
  • Solkre, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2This looks lapsed. I can tell by the jerkiness and having quite a few lapses in my time.
  • rchargel, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1No. No they really don't. For the love of God and all that is holy, we don't need a that. Oh please remove the Wiggles and the Jumparounds (especially these jackasses) from my television screen.
  • S3Plan, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1What d bag.
  • sampath3, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2This is nice collection of photographs, not sure how they make them such a nice,

    Can i anyone explain it ?
  • vitoke, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1It looks like real life when im under the effect of drugs.
  • Halsfield, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2Reminds me of an episode of gumby or one of those types of shows. Pretty incredible that he got the port to help get these shots.
  • graemee, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Check this then.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_lapse
  • ClevelandBrown, on 06/19/2009, -1/+1agreed, had to mute it about a min into the vid.
  • furrydad, on 06/20/2009, -1/+1Sorry guys, but I'm a PhD of Chemical Engineering and if it wasn't for the picture of the camera with the tilted lens, I never would have figured out what was actually happening by the verbage. It's a common problem with wikipedia, things are written as though you have a background in the field and the wiki explores the more technical aspects. There should be a first section designated "dummies" that gives a really quick and dirty synopsis for the average 6th grader.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+0http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photograph ...
  • KayIslandDrunk, on 06/19/2009, -1/+1Malschla-

    If you bothered to take the time to read the article you'd understand it's written in pretty basic English. I'd expect anyone who with a basic high school degree to understand what is written. Seeing as most people on Digg are in college or college graduates, I don't think that's too much to ask.
  • malschla, on 06/20/2009, -1/+0Simple? Three pages of wikipedia articles is simple? Look, I'm all about trying to learn on my own, but wikipedia isn't always the clearest thing. And, the Digger stated that he read it and still didn't understand. There is nothing wrong with that. Except in your world, where it's better to insult people rather than help them. Good luck with that.
  • trentrezn0r, on 06/19/2009, -7/+2It goin' rain.
  • KayIslandDrunk, on 06/19/2009, -6/+1Then how about you read the sections of the wikipedia article titled "Camera Movements" and "Applying Camera Movements." If you can't understand what the hell it's talking about after that, then I guess there really is no hope for you after all.
  • KayIslandDrunk, on 06/19/2009, -9/+4Was going to wikipedia too ***** difficult for you? I guess so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_shift_photograph ...
