Get rid of the converging verticals

[Geoff F]

I could accept the verticals, but not part of a lorry in the bottom right corner.

You could crop it out with a similar amount from the left side but that tends to lose the impact. Alternatively, crop both sides and try something like 4 x 5 ratio?

Reshoot is the only real option I'm afraid.

Geoff, is this any better? Bruce

I think that's a lot better, Bruce. But I am still bothered by the missing bottom of the building.
That's a re-shoot, I'm afraid.

And it still needs straightening

[Geoff F]

Definitely better and there are several other crop options, although I suspect a reshoot may be the only way to achieve a perfect result.

Thank you Tyler, and Geoff for your comments.

Bruce,

One of the problems all photographers face when photographing tall buildings is that sometimes we need to point the camera up to get it all in the frame. This leads to "converging verticals" which in some circumstances can lead to a dramatic shot, but often, as in this case, just makes your building look like it is leaning backwards.

The answer is to use a wider lens and/or step further back, so you can get all the building in the frame while keeping the camera level with the horizon. There are also specific lenses for this kind of work called shift lenses, but they tend to be expensive.

Failing all that it is possible to correct this phenomena in software. I had a go at your image so you can see what I mean. This software manipulation invariably entails losing part of your frame, sometimes significantly. It is important then to leave plenty of scope to allow for this "cropping".

Nikon PCE tilt shift 19mm is your answer but speak to you bank manager first🙄
