There is an exact relationship between the camera height and the degree of tilt applied. For this reason a laminated copy of this chart might be useful in the camera bag.

We took ourselves (me and the test Labrador) off to see Paul Gallagher. Paul has been an advocate of T-S lenses for many years and both writes and teaches on the subject; indeed his company, Aspect2i, run a dedicated Shift-Tilt course (see www.aspect2i.co.uk).

The situation that we set up was on flat ground and so is akin to a maritime scene from water level. Newcomers are usually surprised by how close the near parts of the scene are; they are normally right up to your tripod legs! For starters we calculated and illustrated the scene for a level, landscape-oriented camera, with a 24mm lens, using a 3-ft camera height and an aperture of f13.
