This is how buildings are supposed to be photographed -- with fancy hardware, not fancy computers. Google tilt-shift lens to find out why this picture looks different from what you're used to seeing on the intarweb.

Thanks to dog food sugar for this one.

You can see lots more great pictures, and add your own -- dive in to
the HAIF Flickr Pool.

Nice photo. I do like these.

I didn't realize tilt shift lenses were so pricey.

Sorry to burst your bubble however, but this photo actually is most likely a PS tiltshift, not a hardware based one

Okay, I'm perplexed. What's the advantage of using one of these lenses? All I can see is a half blurred photo. Perhaps a before and after would better help illustrate the benefits?

They can alter the perspective, for one thing. Instead of the lines of a building converging toward a vanishing point, you can adjust the lens to make those lines parallel.
