There's more to tilt-shift photography than gluing a plunger to your lens.

That was a shocker! I guess if I'm going to try this, I'll need to get a second hand lens.
Any suggestions for good focal lengths to use, and the proper plunger lengths for different focal lengths? I'd like to see more photography projects! Thanks.

This is a cool idea but gluing a lens, any lens, to the plunger is wasteful unless you have experimented with the device enough to know you want to make a final commitment.
Gluing the body cap on makes perfect sense, but you can get one of those for $5.00.
Regardless, this is a cool idea and a very cost effective way to play with the technique, although focusing could be problematic.
But that's half the fun. ;)

hot glue is not so bad, if it were epoxy or some other gunk, you might have an issue, the beauty of hotglue is that it peels off. the other possibly problem is the heat, if the lens is rubberized the glue might mess with it, otherwise this is all temporary.

What this video shows you how to do, is make a giant Lensbaby, not a Tilt-Shift.
Furthermore, it's only a tilt - It's missing the shift aspect.
