3 days at Zion National Park in Utah with a couple of tilt shift

Here us a link to a simulator that helped me understand a bit better how the tilt focusing works:

Moving the focus slider to the right means focusing closer, moving it to the left means focusing towards infinity

You will see that at usual tripod heights you need very little tilt to get hinge point of the plane of focus on the ground under your camera.

Very handy. I had to go to 0 tilt w/ the slider to "get it" then started added tilt and very nifty tool, one can see the DoF impact of the different focal lengths.

Having the Field of View is also nice for looking at the impact of the focal length options. Which then of course begs the questions on which one(s) of the T/S should I rent? I noticed that the cost of renting all three for the month will approximate the cost of buying either the 90 or 45......

To avoid what JRW experienced with me (i was the lousy photo guide in Orlando) I have been conversing w/ a photo guy who also works for of the guide shops and he gets the whole light & angles and times of day issues -

I am not likely to get back to this part of the world for several years so I don't want to leave it a few hours/dollars short of the best possible outcome.

2nd week in July if anyone can find their way to Salt Lake, I will have a big SUV (needed later when the kiddos show up) and be Chauffeur (already hired the guide )

aha moment - Lens issue solved- as I have the t3i and the 5dIII I will rent the 24 and the 90. as the 24 on the crop will give the 40ish equivalent that covers the 45 close enough.
