@Trevorgoodchild Yes, though I was a ways back, this still required a moderate amount of vertical shift in order to get a reasonable composition with undistorted geometry. Shift is really useful for architecture!
@[email protected] wow I’m surprised that with all the distance you have you still required vertical shift to get everything just perfect. Since you had a lot of distance, would the photo without vertical shift even have been noticeably different to a layman as myself? Or is this just something you’d like to do to be perfect with your compositions?
@[email protected] You might not notice what's off, but you probably would notice that something is a bit wrong.
A viable alternative to shift movements at this distance is to shoot a bit wide and then crop.
@[email protected] so at this distance given you have enough range you could probably correct impost without the vertical shift and I probably would notice is what you’re saying. It really becomes necessary when you’re distances very very close like in your example where you explained everything.
