Have another look at

That's the result of technology applied to

that's the result of not doing it correctly.

There were constraints around me that limited what I could do. I hoped
that I would get enough image to be useful but I was wrong. If I had a
camera with all the necessary movements I would have known that it was
a lost cause before I took the picture.

it wouldn't have been a lost cause had you known how to work within
those constraints.

What would you have done?

Buy a Fujifilm GFX 50S and the Cambo Actus-GFX View Camera system:

review/

I believe they also have systems for the X-T2 and Canon & Nikon DSLRs.

Not as portable nor practical as tilt-shift lenses but it depends on
your needs right? Here's the Horseman take on the concept:

Very interesting but you should take into account the comment from
Cambo site:

"As the GFX50s is mirrorless it will focus with lenses wider than
60mm. DSLRs cannot do this due to the mirror box, the rear element
is too far from the sensor."

I think that that gear is intended for professional studio work...

There's also the stitching back approach:

That might revitalise my old 4"x 5" field camera. If it only had a
decent lens :-(

Go retro! :-))
