Correcting Perspective with the shift Lens
If you photograph architectural subjects with a conventional wideangle lens
aimed up at the building, perspective in the photograph looks unnatural. Lines
converge and the building appears to be leaning backwards because the subject
and film plane are not parallel to each other. The TS lens provides a solution
to the problem. Shifting the lens allows desired framing while keeping the film
plane and subject parallel. This also eliminates unnecessary foreground in the
process, improving overall composition. This shifting ability can also be used
for photographing images in a mirror or window thereby excluding the
photographer's reflection.
