I'm considering renting a tilt-shift lens, probably the 24mm, to play with for a week. I'd pick a week in which I wouldn't have a lot of other things going on, and spend a lot of time getting to know the lens and what things of interest I might use it for. I have a 6D2 as my only FF body.
I'm not interested in trying the miniature effect. I haven't done any work for realtors in several years and don't anticipate that being a factor in the future, so this will be just for fun and general education/edification.
I would like to have a plan in mind beforehand.
So do you have specific suggestions for things I might try? I live in a small college town near a lake, and Charlotte is about 20 miles away for cityscapes. There are interesting old courthouses within 50 miles, but I don't have an idea of how I might exploit the features of the lens in photographing them. Photoshop does a good enough job with vertical convergence that I wonder whether the t-s has enough of an advantage in shooting them to be worth the trouble.
Does this sound like a fun project for a week, or would you recommend I take the rental fee and go to a really good steak place for dinner instead?
