You have to remember that if you tilt the front or rear standard, to
increase your DOF from close to far (horizontally), you will decrease
your DOF vertically. Using tilt in a forest, to increase your
horizontal DOF will cause the upper part of the trees (those close to
the camera) to be out of focus. You have to compromise by using a
little tilt to increase the horizontal and then stop down to pick-up
the rest horizontally and the vertical. This is where a good loupe
and a very dark, dark cloth, and long enough time under the dark
cloth for your eyes to adjust, is what separates the wheat from the
chaff! Or the men from the boys.
