You expect, based on a lifetime's experience of simply seeing tings, that the further away something gets the smaller it will appear.[/quote] Opinions differ on this, though. If there wasn't a serious demand for perspective corrected architectural photos, no one would sell tilt/shift lenses. Example page: [url=http://kerrydavison.freeservers.com/TiltShift/]http://kerrydavison.freeservers.com/TiltShift/[/url] I personally prefer the tilt/shift version (in the middle), because the buildings look more natural to me. I walk downtown at lunchtime in Houston with 20-50 story buildings all around, and I know my eye is seeing something more like the left shot (uncorrected). But I think the brain does that trick where you seem to see more correctly than your eyes can sense. When I attempt to remember what the Enron building looks like, for example, it seems perspective corrected in my memory. To my taste, uncorrected shots like the left one are much less pleasing to the eye than a perspective corrected one (either tilt/shift or Photoshopped). The uncorrected ones look 'wrong', regardless of what my eye may see in real life. [img]http://www.daveingram.com/ozones/glassdassig.jpg[/img] Loading...
