Thanks, Rick. When shooting architecture I usually try to minimize distortion, but there are physical limits on where I can position myself relative to the building, and then I have to make a compromise in post (in this case framing vs distortion). Other times I play around with lines and perspecti

Attila, I'll quibble--I prefer the original version; the distortion doesn't bother me. The absolute blackness of the sky and windows make this a very intriguing shot. Rick On Jan 22, 2014, at 4:46 AM, Brian Walters wrote: > Quoting Attila Boros : > >> Thanks, Brian. I tried to correct the per

Thanks, John. It's a great tip and will come in very handy to get rid of those pesky wires. I had to clone out 4 from this image, and it was a major pain in the butt. On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 3:48 AM, John wrote: > One trick is to take two photos from points 5 to 10 feet apart that are > parallel

One trick is to take two photos from points 5 to 10 feet apart that are parallel to the facade of the building & combine them in Photoshop. The perspective distortion is automatically reduced in the combining. Leave some extra room on the left of the building from the left position & leave some ex

Quoting Bruce Walker : Impressive lighting, well rendered in b&w. Because most of the lines are straight, I'd prefer to see the perspective distortion reduced. I agree. The lighting is very nice but the top of the building slopes to the right. It should be easy to adjust it up a bit. Ov

Thanks, Bruce. Unfortunately I couldn't stand perfectly parallel to the building, there were cars in the way. There was significant distortion and I couldn't reduce it further without loosing part of the image. On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 12:36 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: > Impressive lighting, well rend
