As promised in another thread, here are a few samples of what you can do with a TS-E 24.
Normal shot of little flowers, lying in the grass, camera plus lens slightly tilted forward as a combo, not the lens by itself, at F/4:

Note that only a few flowers in the front middle area are within DoF.
Next a photo where the lens is tilted forwards, by about 5-6 degrees, and focused on the grass:

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the grass close to the ground is sharp, literally from the front to the back, but nothing else is
.This time slightly less tilt, and focused on some flower heads at middle height level:

Here just a few flower heads at the middle level between grass and heighest flower heads are sharp, plus a few blades of grass, partly at least, whenever they stick up high enough.
Next, a close-up shot of some apple blossoms, without tilt, at F/3.5, IOW at maximum aperture:

Just a few blossoms are reasonably sharp in focus,as you can see.
Same shot, but this time with a tilted lens:

Note that the depth, while aperture is still at F/3.5, has increased incredibly, but what I like even more is that this picture seems to invite you to look further into it, towards the flowers at the back of the bunch, and then leads you back via the branch in focus, to the flowers at the front again.
BTW, this is a little bonsai apple tree
.I really enjoy playing with the selective focus tiltshift lenses allow you
