#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/

@Sc0tty generally you want to move the back to avoid disturbing the perspective. But, depending on the camera, you can move either, often in opposite directions, to achieve a greater amount of shift.

    @mattblaze Thanks now you’ve said it, that makes sense. Otherwise could get very ‘slinky’ !

    @Sc0tty now, I should also mention tilt, another movement in which you move the lens and the sensor planes out of parallel alignment, to control focus. There, the general rule is to shift at the rear, and tilt at the front.

    @mattblaze Presumably then that would allow for ‘corrections’ to compensate for non optimal camera position
