How does tilt and shift photography work?
I’ve seen some examples of tilt and shift photography and I was wondering what other kind of results you can get from it, exactly how it works, how the tilt and shift lens works, ect…
Tilt and shift are lens movements that are most commonly found on large format cameras. Nikon and Canon did offer shift lenses for their 35mm equipment. And there is at least one aftermarket tilt lens.
The basic idea is that if the lens is designed to project an image on the film plane that is significantly greater than the nominal size of the film, then it is possible to take advantage of that capability to change what the film actually sees through the lens. To do this, the lens is either shifted horizontally or vertically, or rotated about a horizontal or vertical axis (or some combination of these movements) to create the desired effect.
By shifting the lens laterally or vertically, the field of view can changed from the normal field (which is directly ‘on axis’ with the lens) to something that is off the lens axis. That is, the framing of the image can be changed to shift it to one side or the other, or up or down. An example of shift is when photographing a field that includes a mirror – with the lens on-axis, the camera will see a reflection of itself in the mirror. But by shifting the lens to one side, the field of view seen by the film can be changed to exclude the image of the camera in the mirror.
Vertical shift is also knows as rise or fall.. When photographing a building, it is often necessary to tilt the camera up to include the top of the building. This causes the image of a rectangular building to be distorted -that is, the verticals tend to converge. By raising the lens vertically, it may be possible to frame the entire height of the building without having to tilt the camera, thereby keeping the vertical lines of the building vertical in the image.
Tilt is the capability of rotating the plane of the lens so that it is no longer parallel with the plane of the film. Normally, image planes that are not parallel with the film plane will be rendered out of focus in the image. While this can be compensated for to some degree by increasing depth of field, there is only so far that you can go with that approach. Without going into excessive detail, it is sufficient to say that this make it possible to create an image in which an image plane that is NOT parallel to the film plane will appear to be in focus in the image. The Schleimpflug Principle provides a graphical method for determining the amount of tilt (lens plane rotation about a horizontal axis) or swing (lens plane rotation about a vertical axis) is needed to make create a sharp image plane with the subject plane is not parallel with the film plane.
