And that applies in any situation when you want to, for example, shift the horizon line. That happens a lot in architectural photography. You want to capture the top of a tall building, but if you tilt up then you get an extreme three point perspective. But the effect you want to achieve is a two point perspective where the vertical lines of the building remain parallel. So to illustrate, I'll grab this physical camera and rotate it in Gibble coordinate, and just tilt it up. And we're now getting a three point perspective where these lines that are supposed to be vertical are all actually converging at an imaginary vanishing point way up here. Okay, well we can correct for this. And the way to do it is to use this view camera…
