Hi all. I am excited to begin use of a new camera/lens combination for landscape photography. This is a "first light" image, using the setup. The camera is a Nikon D700 and the lens is the new Nikkor 24mm PC with tilt/shift capability. The lens allows the focal plane to be manipulated to better match the subject matter. This view is a greatly reduced version of a larger panorama which was assembled from four frames. I am pleased with the result. You can only begin to get an idea of the possibilities this setup holds from this reduced version. Comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I am really loving this new lens. I've done several more panoramas and they are all turning out great. What a great new toy! smile
