Originally posted by RM Barker mr.wizard: I'm sorry about the colloquialisms, "take a crack at" simply means "to try fixing". As far as I know, it is not the fault of your lens, it is simply what lenses do in certain circumstances. In the circumstances of your first photo, straight-edged buildings tend to "lean" inward, a problem with the name, "Perspective distortion". When we were using film in our cameras, there was nothing you could do about the problem; with digital, you can. Common editing software fixes the distortion very readily. Personally, I use both Adobe Photoshop Elements (versions 8 to 10 ) and Adobe Lightroom 4, both of which work well not only with perspective distortion, but with pin-cushion and barrel distortions and vignetting. If you give me permission to do so, I would show you the results of applying these techniques to your own photograph, the first one. Your third photo might be more difficult because the leaning subjects are so close. Fixing the distortion will end up having to crop a significant part of the bottom which will really spoil your photo. Perhaps, other members will be able to help you better than I can. Are we looking at downtown Kuala Lumpur? Bob Barker
Hi RM baker..
thanks for your time to explain to me..
Now i understand. For the first time i thought the lean building is some kind of art in here
before this i shoot in AF mode this thing never happend but this time i use manual focus and this lean thing appeared.
I'll take note on this in future.
btw yes this at Kuala Lumpur.
