The Weird Lens That Can Invisibly Photograph Mirrors (Tilt Shift)

Fun fact, like 75% of the time I spent making this video was just on all the short animations. Please like the video or I will be sad 😂

Also several have mentioned that in the mirror shot, you could tell it was at an angle because the faucet was not facing centered. This is true, but if you were doing this for a movie or something, and really needed to sell the illusion, you could simply adjust the faucet or other objects so they still look like they are pointed straight-on.

This tilt effect, it looks like it also works with our eyes/head/neck.

This was a way fun video from you as usual. I liked the PC Nikkor 28mm f3.5 but played with macro work on the PB-4 Bellows w/ an EL 50mm f2.8N. I want a newer 24mm PC-E.

Please, where I can find the reference of the tilt shift adaptor or lens ? Could you add it in the description ? Thank you for your videos.

you can also mask out the camera

Revolutionary. Simply revolutionary.

Please make more videos about photography. Your explanations are so much better than the explanations from most channels that are dedicated to photography only.

Question: Is this different (and how) from just taking a full photo and crop to the desired frame (assuming the image sensor can be made that big)?

HE SAID AMONG

So is that how people make these memes where they record themselves in a mirror with a literal potato??

This is the same dude that made how to download ram right?
Nvm gonna dislike it

TT Artisan has a lens with a good prince right now

I think there cannot be a tilt adapter for DSLR because the mount is already so restrictive for lens design and wide angle lenses already require retrofucs lenses which are not compatible with tilting if I've understood correctly.

I guess mirrorless cameras would have better change for having a tilt adapter for some wide angle lenses.

Well... Now i wonder how the Vertigo Effect would look like if done with a Tilt Shift Lens, or if that would just create an optical Mess.

For those, who don't know, what i'm talking about:
The Vertigo Effect, named after the Movie "Vertigo" where it was first used (or at least which made it famous) is kinda an optical Illusion, which is achieved by physically moving the Camera either forward in a Scene, while zooming out on the Lens, or backwards in the Scene, while zomming in, while filming.

Now that i wrote that i realized, the thing i had in mind isn't working.
I thought the fact, that the Focal Plane Tilts towards the Lens Plane with a Tilt Shift Lens, would impact the Effect.
But thats a fault in thinking, cause actually it's the optical zoom that is responsible for the Effect.

Though it might work if you shift the TS Lens in one direction while physically moving the Camera in the opposite direction on a Dolly or so.
Maybe it won't either...
But it may be interesting to fool around with these kinds of things. Simply moving the Camera oppositional to the Lens movement.

And i bet it's even that interesting, that it's already been done and there are Examples of it in Movies, if it's brought some interesting results ^^

Interesting, I thought it was click bait, but was a good video and explains the topics well. Thanks, I learnt something new :)

well this is the next big thing there will come in Smartphone, someday

Ai left The chat

Sweet

you good sir are making me want to spend money I do not have.

ugh the this was just gonna be a vid about a specific product not a lecture on how cameras work lmaooo

First sentence of the video and i already had enough internet
(he said among)

Cool video

This is easy to do with any cam

Wow, I wonder if game engines like Unity and Unreal who have the option to use "real physical camera" settings can also mimic Tilt Shift cameras. It looks to me like the right way to do bukeh, blur and other effects without overloading the post-process stack with wrong settings (for those who don't know how to configure it right).

Is the "lens plane" always considered from the front element?

Another way to get the shift effect instead of super wide, pointing parallel and cropping, point up or down and tilt the image in post processing. Still need to crop and still lose quality, which is more towards one side of the image than other.

What about FOCUS STACKING to get more into focus?

Could you make an effect somewhat similar to the dolly zoom, in which you shift the lens and change the soom at the same time, so that the lines on a building BECOME parralel during a video?

"Hey, this is cool, I should buy one!" <looks at prices> Narrator: "He did not buy one."

I don't even have a camera, still watched the video. I need help.

Also stabilisers use this effect. By shifting the lenses you can keep your virtual location in the same place so there is not shaking

That’s quite an amazing lens with neat features.

Mini zombies is one of my favorite short films.

what camera / lens do you use?

OH MY GOD WHY IS NOBODY USING THIS TYPE OF LENS IN GAMES SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE LIKE A 180 DEGREE FIELD OF VIEW WITHOUT DISTORTION

.... and apple just announced a iphone with this in it. as in tune of their marketing, they make it sound like they invented it.

great video!

I need this

So you can fake a macro photograph of a human sized object, but can you also fake a normal photograph of a macro sized object? Would you need a large aperture for that?

Very well explained! Amazing!

Subscribed. Not into pro photography. But I like the style. No unnecessary music, just pure, focussed info.

great explain...

It’s so hard to trust this man. I’ve seen real and fake from him

The lens that can make real cities look like scale models.

Forgot my phone

I saw this feature on my phone. I had been curious what "Tilt shift" is and now this video was recoimmended to me.

So you can take a picture of a mirror without the camera's reflection appearing in it.
It's like a vampire camera.
Or perhaps...
