#photography nerdity:For much of my architectural work especially, I often create high resolution "stitched" composites made of multiple captures of different parts of the subject.Modern image software (like Capture One and Photoshop) make this fairly easy and seamless, but the technique and equipment you use to create the individual captures can have a significant impact on the quality of the result. The main idea is require the software do as little geometric work as possible.1/

Related: Shift is also (more often) used to maintain geometric accuracy in certain subjects even in non-stitched images. It's the secret weapon of architectural photography. Here's a little thread I did on it a while back.federate.social/@mattblaze/112

    Also, whenI use the term “quality” here, I’m using it a strictly technical sense to refer to the fidelity of the image, not the aesthetic qualities of the image. I very much dislike this usage, but it’s fairly standard in discussing this stuff.
