Wide-angle lenses are essential for architectural
photography, but they can make the side of buildings
converge, so they appear to be falling over backwards.
Specialist architectural photographers use tilt-shift
(TS-E) lenses to overcome this problem.
By using up-down shift movements, a Canon TS-E
lens can shift your point of view upwards, without
angling the camera. This avoids perspective problems,
and ensures that buildings look like they are standing
straight and tall. Additionally, angular tilt movements
can extend depth of field for maximum front-to-back
sharpness or limit it for a ‘toy-landscape’ look.
The TS-E 17mm f/4L is an ultra-wide angle lens that’s
great for shooting in confined spaces and including
foreground detail. Tilt and shift movements help deliver
natural perspectives. And the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II is a
conventional wide-angle focal length that’s loved by
landscape and architectural photographers.
