RE: Trying To Improve My Skills

in Photography Lovers3 years ago

You are far too kind. However, i do want you to cut yourself a little slack.

I added that red line at the bottom to show you that after editing... you got it as good as it could get. That bottom left of the line i put on the rail... you can see, if adjusted would have made the part you dislike even more off. I think it is the building material (stone) not lining up with the wood railing. It could also be that the camera would need to hover further out to get it lined up... but you'd be shooting dark. And if it's your phone... i wouldn't recommend taking that chance! hahaha

Honestly, i think it's the OCD in us when we see architecture and symmetry that we feel it must all line up properly. The irony is that with round lenses the foreshortening and angles never truly line up when you are shooting something that tall from ground level. You will drive yourself insane if you don't know the limitations of what is possible.

Excellent post! I'm super happy you are getting into this! Keep up the amazing work and most importantly... HAVE FUN!

Thank you for the nice words and the help given with this as it really helps. That was my impression too, but you never know. No worries, I'm not that obsessed with lines yet and I know where to stop. When I see I can't get more out of it, then I know it's time to let it go, so I won't go crazy :) At this point however I feel like there's a lot to learn and I'd like to give it a try.It's also like a puzzle for me as I need to find the solution 😀

Thank you again for the help and kindness and I'm looking forward to reading your posts and learn :)
