Canon 24 mm Tilt/Shift - and very still LIFE

[PKinDenmark]

Working on a competition-assignment with the theme 'LIFE' (a very wide subject, I think), I made the picture below. Representing various types of life - none of them in the fast lane.

Any comments much appreciated.

Doing so I enjoyed playing with the tilt-function of the Canon 24 mm TS/E.
It enabled me to have the plane of focus at the surface of the stump, that is far from parallel to my sensorplane.
This lens is so good !! Very solid (and advanced) mechanics, and very, very good optical quality. Use it as a general wide-angle and it is just perfect.
Also used both tilt and shift for a couple of excercises in architectural photography.
Working with a tripod, lots of time and some patience it gives new creative options - and very good images.
(I am lucky to be in a photo-club having this lens for lending).

Excellent shot! I really want one of these lenses, its either #1 or #2 on my "next" lens list.

Adding a few of the above mentionned architecture shots.
All made with the 24 mm TS/E.
Location is the Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød North of Copenhagen, Denmark.

1. Frontal shot of the castle - using Shift to avoid tilting lines while framing the shot upwards
2. Using Tilt to allow the focal plane to follow the wall with the statues.
3. Using Tilt to allow the focal plane to follow the fence. Note: This is shot at f:3.5.

Any comments to this - or to above 'very still LIFE' appreciated.

Hi Vern - what an impressive cathedral - and a very good interior photo. I like the colours very much.
