its southern calif
in a nutshell
streets - lots of them
orange trees, less of them every day.
distortion and blurry-ness
caused by going too fast
then in the distance majestic snow capped mountains that hardly anyone goes to ( thank GOD!)
and crystal blue skies.
can some photo expert tell me why thjings are bent in this shot? ( yellow lines and light pole)
can ANYONE tell me why people live in tract houses????? uggh

Here from Michele's today. It's the lens that is distorting the image along with the forward motion I guess.
maybe it things are bent in the picture because of the vehicles whizzing by? lol! great shot nonetheless. what a beautiful panorama! :)
yeah why are things bent..
Over from the other Michele's
David,
Have no answers to your questions, but I do remember the crystal blue skies of california...and the snow capped mountains. A beautiful site indeed!
God Bless

Thanks for visiting my Blog. We live closer than you would probably imagine.
Was a windy day?
Nice photo. I get your thoughts on how nice it would be without all the city stuff, like poles, life, and anything but just the nature.
Here from Michele
Dunno why the bend, but it looks kinda cool.
this looks familiar
hope you are well
maybe it's the type of lens you are using...or maybe from taking it through a window, if in fact you are taking the pic through a window (the glass from the window might be distorting it)...not sure, just a couple of guesses though.
As to the curved lines:
See, when you factor in the Paralax and the circumvention of the port of view, the illuninescence of the light rays form astigmatic responses in the iral aperture of the digital aparatus.
Can you tell that I don't know?
But it is, nevertheless, a great photo.
The bent lines are a direct result of the short focal length of the lens used for this shot. Wide-angle lenses - or zoom lenses approaching the widest angle that they are capable of using - will typically distort the perspective of the image. Straight lines will bow out.
To correct this and still have a similar coverage of a shot, back up, then zoom in a bit. That'll equalize the lines a touch.
A neat trick is to take zoomed-out pictures of a person's face from pretty close in. The distortion makes the nose appear much larger than it really is. The more familiar you become with the effect, the more fun you can have with composition.
(Sorry for the detail...years of mucking up photos before finally figuring it out will do that to a guy!)
