As a fun personal project, Star Tribune photographer Carlos Gonzalez used tilt-shift lenses during Twins spring training. Think of it as one of those old-time cameras where the photographer places their head under a cloth to focus. Tilt-shift lenses offer the same type of view camera effect on a digital camera. These lenses are often used in architecture photography to correct any distortions often caused by wide lenses or angles. Gonzalez used the lens in way that created a shallow depth of field, meaning that a small area would be in focus while the rest of the image would be out of focus.
Carlos Gonzalez is veteran of the Star Tribune photo staff. He covers a variety of assignments including news, features and sports.
