I would love to get a real tilt shift lens but they just cost too much. I like doing the software effect from time to time.

Those kinds of tilt-shift photos aren't my thing either, but I have a 4x5 Toyo film camera with which I do some tilt-shift stuff (outside of correcting perspective distortion). My inspiration with that comes from one of my teachers who does a lot of work with camera movement distortion: http://pollychandler.com/

I'm more of a documentarian than an artist, so doing the specialty stuff doesn't really appeal to me. I have friends who do everything from corporate portraiture to abstract. Back in college I knew a guy, who went to the Ontario College of Arts, who would take pictures with a Polaroid and then mess with the emulsion, while the picture was developing. He came up with some pretty cool looking stuff that people struggle to recreate these days, using software.

I do like occasionally using legacy glass, like the OM 50mm F1.8 that I snagged as a 'lens cap' for the OM2000 I bought, but it's less and less these days after having bought a great 45mm F1.8 Micro Four-Thirds lens.
