Chicago Constuction Skyline

[Murtasma]

The building in the center is currently being built you can see where they have yet to put the panes of glass on. The building had this really nice blue tone to it. However there is some dirtness on the front of the building. I should have spent a little more time getting the black dirtyness off the front of the building. However on my monitor at home it looked correct.

I need to buy a monitor calibrator I am getting sick of this looks perfect at home at work it looks weird. Oh well

I shot this image at F22 during the sunset at -2 , 0 +2

Murtasma,

Great shot of the skyline, but it's leaning to the right.

The horizon? Really? it looks staight to me. Maybe my right eye is lower then my left.

LMAO. its not your eyes. its the construction companys fault. they made it that way to counter the winds that blow in that direction.

oh, great shot by the way. love the colours.

Thats a beautiful shot. You could correct the horizontal prespective in PS.

[WooD]

Looks to me like the building on the right is leaning towards the left.

It looks like the building on the right is leaning to the left, and the building on the far left is leaning to the right...

thats what i thought so how the heck do you correct that problem?

Oooooooooh ok ya I see what you were talking about now. It's really strange because I shot this with my 50mm 1.8 not known for lots of distortion like that. The left side of the image is fine. The middle buildings lines are perfectly straight. I suspect it has to do with the angle of that building with relation to the others that is causing that weird optical illusion. Perhaps there was a smudge on my lens in that location or something. Altho my other pics from this lens I don't notice distortion in that area.

I should have spent a little mroe time straightening that buidling out in relation to the others.

EDIT: Taking a closer look at the orginal it does look like there is some lens distortion and quiet a bit on the right side of the frame.

Ugh everytime theres one little stupid detail that throws everything off. I think I need to finish an image then take a look at it the next day to finalize everything. Looking at the same image for 5 hrs it's easy to overlook things when you have been looking at them all day and fixing other problems that are much more apparent.

Apparently theres always something right
