What is Tilt Shift Photography ?�
This is the realm of photography that involves tilting the lens with respect to the picture plain and taking photos in that configuration. “Tilt-shift” actually has two movements: the rotation of the lens, called Tilt and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, the Shift.

The angle-of-view is how wide an area is seen by a given lens.
Angle-of-view is determined by two factors, the focal length of the lens, and the area of light sensitive material used to capture your image. That means, when your lens becomes longer the angle of view is reducing and the final image will contain lesser area of the image plain. This is what gives the effect of zooming in or enlarging what is being seen to a particular area of interest.

As a general case when the focal length …

Lets see the basic options one have for digital photograph storage. Like any digital data photographs also can be stored in any digital storage device.

Lets get some things cleared first, the larger the aperture the smaller the depth of field that means the smaller the f stop the smaller the depth of field.  I repeat in bold
Large aperture = Small DOF
Small Fstop  = Small DOF
So what does that mean when u are using say 2.8 Fstop on your macro lens the depth that will be in focus will be less than when using say 4. I would like to look at depth of field as the volume in focus. Remember that the DOF extends …

The problem comes in the second reflection that is we need to get a 90 degree turn to get the image on the viewfinder here comes the pentaprism or the pentamirror
Lets see the principle behind this first, it will be easier to explain this using a pentaprism so we are going to talk in …
