I wanted to put my tilt-shift lens through it's paces so I walked around on the "Hell's Half Acre" walking path yesterday evening. Inside are a few sample vertoramas I took. I sincerely appreciate all of your comments and know the effort it is to comment so hopefully this will make it easier to see the bunch ;-)
The T/S lens makes this sooo easy. There is no moving the camera and virtually no correction needed in photoshop to stitch the images. I did discover that the auto exposure does not work properly when the lens is shifted so I set the manual exposure with the lens centered and used the same settings when I shifted up or down.
After merging in PS CS3 each image is about 24 megapixels. The latest issue of "Outdoor Photographer" has an article on tilt-shift lens entitled How to Shoot like Ansel Adams with35mm D-SLRs.

I happen to own at this time 3 tilt–shift Nikkors and I thought it would be fun to parade them.
On the left is the 24mm f/3.5 which I have owned for many years, and which is now for sale. In the middle is the 19mm f/4 that has become my workhorse for architecture and old stones photography. And on he right is the 85mm f/2.8 which I have just acquired for tabletop and product photography, where it is sometimes more interesting to use the capabilities of a tilt–shift lens than to stack focus with a normal lens (the processing of the stack doesn’t always gone without hitches!).
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Manfrotto cantileverd giraffe light stand in zenithal position (angled towards camera), 1.3 meters above subject, firing at ¼ power through a Luxlight 30 × 140–cm strip box with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 1 meter above it, firing at ¼ power through a 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflector to camera right.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, Micro–Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 macro lens with FTZ adapter.
Bluring on purpose for Our Daily Challenge. This is an “art filter’ built into my Olympus E-PL1 camera. I know it blurs the shot so, I thought I’d give it a go - on purpose. It works better from a greater height and more of a cityscape, but is suposed to mimic a tilt-shift lens and give the impression of a toy landscape. Fun to try, would be better in the City, but thanks for the daily challenge for reminding me I had the filter.
Another Tilt Shift experiment. I think this one is a better than my first. I think the fact that the gardens are manicured gives it that toy town feel. Appears that half the battle is finding a good subject and taken at the right distance or angle.
Fake tilt-shift of Seattle waterfront.
Seen in the book Miniature Seattle, now available.
When you use a perspective control lens, you are almost obligated to use it to ruin the perspective and make a toy world picture.
Picture taken using mechanical tilt shift and manual focus. I enjoy that as it forces me to focus on part of frame instead of entire motive - south Norway roads
this picture was taken at the starbucks second level shop. had to queue up for coffee and find a good spot, but it was all worth it.

I used the Tilt Shift edit program in my camera for this one. Managed to get one of the sun's rays shining on her too.
Just testing out the tilt-shift effect in Photoshop. I took this from the top of an old castle (forgot the name) in Marrakech, Morocco.
And now for something completely different... I’ve always wanted to try one of these fake tilt-shift miniatures… but I never had a suitable image until now.
What is a fake tilt-shift miniature? Well… Wikipedia defines it like this…
Miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is made to look like a photograph of a miniature scale model. Blurring parts of the photo simulates the shallow depth of field normally encountered in close-up photography, making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is; the blurring can be done either optically when the photograph is taken, or by digital postprocessing. Many faked-miniature photographs are taken from a high angle to simulate the effect of looking down on a miniature.
How did I process this image to look like a fake miniature? Well… here is an excellent tutorial… and here is another.
