Because I wanted the name of the school to complete show up in the picture, I positioned the camera some degrees up, and this causes the vertical lines of the building to try to converge in some point up above (the same effect happens to the horizontal lines that try to converge in some point to the right - both convergence points are far outside the picture bounds). Usually, when we take a picture of a tall building, we point the camera up, and this causes the building to have a larger base, compared to the uppermost part. It's the effect that professional photographers eliminate optically by using those "shift" lens. The opinion I wanted is if you think it's worth correcting such effect for pictures where the building is not the main subject, it's just a background. Correcting this effect may introduce distortions to the main subject, so, there is a trade. In the picture above, I corrected the width of my daughter, to match the original, once the perspective problem was minimized. Well, I got your opinions. Loading...
