I have a 30D too and to be honest I have been having the most fun with cheap DIY add ons and old film stuff.
I'm definately trying the plunger tilt idea.
Other cheap things to try are aperture stencils.

Reverse macro using old film primes.

I also bought my self a 8mm fisheye from Belarus for a few hundred bucks that takes amazing pix. (Peleng 8mm f3.5)
and finally buying old second hand flash units and putting cellophane coloured gels over them and selectively lighting structures at night over really long exposures (no photos online yet)
Sorry for the long post, just thought I would post it all in case anyone was interested in the cheap side of photographical experimentation.

What kind of camera are u going to use it with?
- Sickman0
main useage is for
a) selective focus (tilt)
b) perspective correction (shift)both are things that can be done in photoshop....

Inexpensive tilt and shift lenses at the bottom. I've ordered from them before.... totally on the up and up.

it will be on a canon 30d.
here's what I'm mulling over:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/…also, i'm not concerned with faking any of the effects, buying the lens should inspire me to take more pictures, not spend more time staring at photoshop

damn! great links guys! i've been interested in this idea for a while as well!

they are mainly used in architectural and interior photography at wide angles to correct distortion. i'd get the 24.
- Daro0
perspective correction in photoshop never comes out quite right.
The tilt shit lens does help a lot especially when shooting tall structures.

nice!, thanks
- Daro0
what linearch said.
24mm should do it.
- Mimio0
That's why many architectural photographers still use view cameras. Same idea with these lenses.

also, does anyone know of any links of actual tilt shift photography?
all of my google efforts are resulting in the faked images

nice links slappy.

i shoot photography for some real estate firms with my wide angle 10mm-22mm for making small spaces look large, as long as i'm level those pics come out looking fine.
i'm more into the tilt option than the shift for the tight selective focus

Wow that was quick, did you just make those stencils or you have been doing before?
Its a bit of a spin out even skull and crossbones work. I'd love to get some custom bokeh into a client job one day. I dont have any samples on my work computer :(
