In the case of a tilted photograph, the scale is not constant, but varies depending on the angle of the camera to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The formula for the scale of a tilted photograph is:<\/p>\n<p>$$\\text{Scale} = \\frac{{\\text{f}}}{{{\\text{H}}\\sec \\theta }}$$<\/p>\n<p>where:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$f$ is the focal length of the camera<\/li>\n<li>$H$ is the altitude of the camera<\/li>\n<li>$\\theta$ is the angle of the camera to the ground<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The scale is greatest when the camera is perpendicular to the ground, and decreases as the camera is tilted. This is because the distance between two objects on the photograph is greater when the camera is tilted, so the scale must be smaller to compensate.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because it does not include the factor of $\\sec \\theta$.
