JaZ99, that is great! I may have to mark Iceland as a destination. Great photograph.
Thanks Stone and Sirius! :cool:
Well seen! Nice composition and tones. Makes me want to get to Iceland sometime!Quote:

I am fairly new to LF and I am curious how often do you find yourselves using tilt or Scheimpflug technique when photographing landscapes? So far it seems that when I have thought to use it I am only tilting maybe 2 or 3 degrees forward with my lens, if that? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
From my limited experience, yeah I don't end up needing a lot of forward tilt to get the focal plane lined up. A little goes a long way. For landscapes, I end up using the rise/fall and shift movements far more than tilt (or swing). That's not to say that precise DOF control from tilt and swing isn't useful, or can't be creatively applied, but for classic landscape photography, there is limited practical application (in my opinion).
The main advantage of using the tilt for landscape photography is so that you don't have to stop down to f/64 to get everything from the foreground to infinity all in focus. Instead, you tilt down the plane of focus and you can use f/16 or f/22 and still get the whole landscape in focus. At these larger apertures (f/16 vs. f/64 for example), you get a faster shutter speed (so less risk of camera shake) and also have a much sharper image because you don't have the diffraction of a small aperture like f/64.
If you check out this article, the tests show much stopping down too much will impacts resolution (via diffraction of course). For example, 4x5 Provia scanned at 4000dpi yielded 205mp at f/16, but only 157mp at f/22, and only 115mp at f/32. Diffraction kills resolution.
