Some shots taken while waiting for my youngest to finish roller skating. Certainly nice to have a camera handy.

Nice shots but the tilt is distracting.

Cool shots, Scott. The first one is very well done - great conversion.

I love the second one, but the tilt is obvious indeed.
The control of light is very good though!

Thanks Jer, It is a shot that looked some much better BW than original color

I never worry about it when shooting because it is futile.

I don't use the Pentax software, but I think it has a leveling feature.

If not, Photoshop Elements is pretty cheap, I think under $50 with the rebate. I automatically reach for the leveling tool in PP.

Well done. As others mentioned, straightening the horizon with PP will greatly enhance them.

I am a huge fan of night shots. Great work and the straight versions work much better for me :-)

Thanks for the comments. the building on the left is an old resturant which burned down about 4 years ago, rebuilding was started but not finished.

Thanks, night shots are always a challenge, especially on sloping ground in the snow
