"Rathaus Basel" image is fantastic. Really highlights the merits of the TS-E. Did you make a note of the tilt and shift settings that you used? Also, did you use any accessories (e.g. geared tripod, geared head, angle finder,field monitor, mirror...etc) to help with composing/shooting in an upwards direction?neuroanatomist said:L'Arc de Triomphe

With the Mantis shot did you use a flash-modifier?
The Arc de Triomphe shot looks a bit over-corrected. When I first got my TS-E I found the Schneider optics guide (http://www.schneideroptics.com/pdfs/photo/PC-TS%20Anleitung%201-12%20en.PDF) which on page 12 recommends methods to retaining some residual keystone for more natural-to-the-eye geometry.
Personally, I feel it distracts from the picture. But then photographers are distracted by many things that most people would never think about. The residual keystone thing may just be a matter of taste.
I think keystone correction is a bit like going for the first kiss:

Thanks for the feedback!
I don't generally note down the T/S settings I use, encoders would be nice. That shot of the town hall in Basel, Switzerland used quite a bit of shift ('downward' to get apparently closer to the facade) and just a bit of tilt. No accessories, just my travel tripod (RRS TQC-14 + BH-30 LR).
For the mantis in our back yard, I had the StoFen diffusers on the MT-24 EX heads.
Perhaps you're right on the keystoning - IIRC, I corrected a bit further with DxO, maybe too much.
