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.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the detail...years of mucking up photos before finally figuring it out will do that to a guy!)carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12285157.post-1143549755075652152006-03-28T04:42:00.000-08:002006-03-28T04:42:00.000-08:00As to the curved lines:See, when you factor in the...As to the curved lines:<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>Can you tell that I don't know?<BR/><BR/>But it is, nevertheless, a great photo.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12285157.post-1143516108146907822006-03-27T19:21:00.000-08:002006-03-27T19:21:00.000-08:00maybe it's the type of lens you are using...or may...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.Shelley L.
