There's an endless stream of horrible, depressing, ill-informed stuff to contend with right now, and it can be overwhelming.
Please don't add to this by saying "Tilt/Shift" when you mean either "Tilt/Swing" or "Shift", which are completely different camera movements that do totally different things (the former involving the plane of focus and the latter involving the subject geometry).
Thank you.

@mattblaze@federate.social But the lenses have been called TS for ages?

@mattblaze@federate.social I wish there was a LOL (or to be precise, Sremoved Out Loud) reaction.
Precision is important.

I have turned off notifications in the NYT app for everything but business news and somehow the political news notification keeps getting re-enabled. Just sent an email reporting the bug.

Normally when I see tilt/shift used, it's for lenses that can both tilt and shift? And when stuff can only shift, they're marked as perspective correcting? But it's been a while since I've been looking at new glass

@dymaxion@infosec.exchange some lenes do both movements, others only do one (or neither). But it’s inaccurate and confusing to refer to a “tilt/shift photograph” if it didn’t actually use both movements (and few photos do).
Those selectively focused fake miniature photos? They use tilt and/or swing. Shifting (generally) plays no role at all.

Oh, for a photograph, yeah, definitely — I was just thinking about the lens side where folks tend to label them somewhat more accurately. I mean, I'm sure that someone has taken a picture looking up at a tall building in corrected perspective but looking like it's an architectural model, but not often.
