Move or zoom? Composition [architecture/landscape] with shift lenses at different focal lengths
Do you move or do you zoom? Keith looks at shift lens photo composition at different focal lengths.
Although shot using shift lenses, the observations apply whatever lens you are using.
Just as with a zoom lens, image composition and perspective is a combination of both position and field of view. Using a range of shift lens focal lengths, including dedicated tilt/shift lenses as well as adapted medium format lenses.
There is a video about the lens adapter at: Fotodiox TLT/ROKR review and there is a lot more detail about how you use tilt and shift in the accompanying Fotodiox article here.
The video is one of Keith’s series looking at different aspects of using tilt/shift lenses.
