Granary Wharf Leeds and Wellington Street: A Tilt Shift Lens Adventure<\/h1>\n

Just a quick post with some shots from the train station and canal area of Leeds.<\/p>\n

These were taken during the early days of testing the Tilt Shift lens we invested in for the architecture photography business.<\/p>\n

Tilt shift lenses are a game changer for architectural photography. These lenses allow for control over the plane of focus, enabling photographers to capture buildings with perfect vertical lines, avoiding the distortion commonly seen with regular lenses. This ability is particularly useful for cityscapes and urban architecture, where maintaining the integrity of lines and shapes is crucial. The Canon TS-E 17mm f\/4L lens we used offers exceptional sharpness and versatility, making it a valuable addition to our toolkit.<\/p>\n<\/i> Here’s what we used to make theseClick to see the 17mm TSe Lens<\/small><\/span><\/a>\n
