The back of the camera, that holds the medium format digital back (MFB) moves. Up and down (rise and fall), left and right (shift left and right), tilt (the back or the lens tilts on an axis) and swing (the back or the lens swings left or right). So basically I took a 3 shots at the zero rise/fall line moving the sensor from right to left by 12mm for each shot. Then I lowered (fall) the sensor by 10mm and repeated. So I had two rows of 3 shots. After working on exposure, etc., I stitched them together and did more work in photoshop. Hope that helps...
