New Lens – my Canon 90mm TS-E tilt shift lensWednesday, February 23rd, 2011
If you haven’t noticed I am a huge fan of camera gear. I probably have too much gear but I won’t admit that anytime soon.
Today I received a lens that I had borrowed back in December – I rented it for almost a month and I just hated when I had to send it back. So I am happy that I now have my own! This lens is a tilt shift lens – which makes it perfect for tilting and shifting! It is a specialized lens that can be used for some really creative portraits, products, and other types of photography. I won’t use it too often at a wedding but for some bridal or engagement sessions I will probably bring it out for a few unusual and creative portraits.

I was in a hurry to blog this lens so I created this photograph with my iPhone. I find it ironic that I buy a lens that is about $1,300 and I photograph it with my phone.
However, like every piece of gear – I will be practicing and getting to know the gear before I use it at a paid event or wedding. I don’t want to spend a client’s valuable time while I am learning something new. Yes, after a month of renting the lens I am pretty familiar with it, however, this is a new lens and I just want to be prepared (I learned that from Boy Scouts).
Be prepared – it’s a great motto!
