Hey All
I am sure some of you use this technique in Photoshop for fixing the keystone (falling over backward) effect you get when photographing a tall building with a wide-angle lens from close up: Select All > Edit > Transform > Perspective - and then pull out from either of the top anchor points.
It's a cool technique, and I use it when I want the building to look as though an earthquake had not struck the site.
For this photo, I chose to embrace the distortion of the tower in St. Mark's Square in Venice - because I like the way the tower and subject are both leaning into the frame. What do you think? Let me know.
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. Speaking of buildings, don't ya just love the photograph on the cover of Derrick's new book, The Digital Photography Companion!
