p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Tilt/Shift lenses for architecture: how do you use them? | |
The traditional way to use a tilt-shift lens for architecture is to have the camera on a tripod, preferably with a geared head on it, use the geared adjustments to perfectly level the camera, fore to aft and side to side (I prefer using the Clinometer app on my phone to the built in levels in the camera) then use the shift (rise/fall/shift) function to frame the shot. Typically you don't use the tilt function for architecture as you end up throwing things like ceilings out of focus by mistake, so just leave that locked and zeroed. (and of course there are always exceptions to that rule) Focus is best achieved by using Live View and zoomed in. Optimal apertures are usually around f/11, although f/8 to f/16 are all usable.
