Very nice!

But normally when I think of a castle, I imagine turrets, moats and draw bridges!

What are the official features that distinguishes a castle from a house?

Cheers!

Thanks for your comments. This is actually the entrance gate house to the castle. The castle also has a moat!

Wow! Amazing shot! I must own this lens!

Finally starting to use that tilt function to add some small interest to photos...

Nice composition, Kenny!

Cheers!

That shot is trippy Kenny! Awesome composition and the selective focus just makes it rock.

Thanks guys! This lens is just so much fun, it's easy to use it for just about everything.

Please explain to me your logic of how you would use a TS-E for portraits.

very sorry I somehow missed your question !

thank you JelleVerherstraeten for the link, it is very good indeed !

I shoot a lot of people and details, small things that makes sense like parts of kimono ... I hope the TS-E will help me to gain a new liberty DOF control and have some fun

for example I would like to have a geisha portrait with only eyes sharp, the flat DOF would cover also the hears, but would leave the red lips out of focus ...

I work a lot on evocation, not description, so DOF effect is always very welcomed, you can see a few selected image here to give yourself an idea here :

when I finally buy some TS-E, I will report the results if any (but probably in the 45mm thread, I really love the images made by this lens )

It's quite alright Alain. Thanks for giving me insight on how a tilt shift would do well in potraiture. Most of my shooting is landscapes and the 24 TS-E would certainly benefit. Thanks!

Not your typical subject for this lens, but the rental company didn't have the 24L II in stock.

hi all!
i have the TS-E 24mm 3.5 (version 1)on the (5dm2) and it is hands down the sharpest lens i have ever used.

as far as i can tell, the difference between the old version and the new version is the fact that you can rotate the tilt to shift without removing the 4 set screws on the lens. otherwise, i think the glass is exactly the same.

when i got my lens, the tilt and the shift were aligned with each other. i pulled the screws out and set the tilt to shift back to the factory alignment.

i am doing the conversion again back to the other way right now actually.

would anyone like to see photos of the conversion?
if so, should i start a new thread showing the details of the operation?
