Sullivan Sunset - Testing out the Nikon 19mm Tilt-Shift Lens

A fiery sunset lights up the water and ice on the coast of Downeast Maine. This was shot with the Nikon 19mm tilt-shift lens, which Nikon is loaning to me to test out. In this shot I wanted to get a lot of the water and ice visible in the frame and pull the horizon upwards in the frame. I was at about eye level with my tripod, and with a normal lens I would have had to tilt the camera downwards so that the horizon was shifted up to bring the water more into the frame, which with a wide angle lens causes distortion and the trees would most likely be leaning heavily in the shot. However with the 19mm tilt-shift lens I was able to keep the camera level and shift the lens downwards, achieving a similar framing but without the leaning trees. I also tilted the lens to get everything in focus at f/4 (the widest aperture) but I stopped the lens down to f/11 to get even better focus and a sharper image. But I didn't really need to tilt the lens, at eye level with a 19mm lens you can get everything in focus at f/11 without tilting. Stay tuned for a more detailed write-up of my experiences with the Nikon 19mm tilt-shift lens!
