I know Margaret has made some posts about our Canon 24mm Tilt/Shift Lens, and so I thought someone might find this of interest.
Margaret probably indicated that we usually take our photos vertically and shift the lens horizontally, thus yielding a landscape photo. I don't usually rotate the shift the other direction, but today I had a need. I was in a small 1 bedroom property with a combo living/dining and adjoining kitchen. By shooting landscape and shifting horizontally, left to right, I got the below image. I approximated how much of the field of view I would have gotten if I had taken this photo with our Nikon point & shoot. As you can see, there isn't much comparison. I know there has been discussion in the group about using wide angle lenses to photograph more of a room, and I agree that this is a key point in showing today's open floor plans where one room flows into another.
If you didn't see Margaret's first post on the subject, click here to read it.
