Photos distortion - tilted buldings

[michaelstone]

Hi, is there a way to have buildings straight? On the sides of the photo, distortion/ tilt is quite visible...

Correct it in post processing.

No way to set the camera?

If the camera is looking downward, the tops of the buildings will be bigger and lean outward. Simple perspective. You're just used to the inverse, where your camera is looking upward, so the bottoms of buildings are bigger and the tops lean inward.

True, it wasn't much of a problem in straight line photos. What tool do you use for correction in the editor (Lightroom, Photoshop)?

I tried to straighten it for you, what do you think?

HeavensAbove, one of those buildings still seems a bit off. Maybe 5.5º off.

Are you sure? I used the super straighten algorithmic function in Photoshop and it says it's bang on ;-)

Looks perfect... I hope Italians are not too angry with you now ;-)

The camera is a fixed 28mm so the chance at having perspective distortion is not unusual. I correct using lightroom.

Thanks for the tip - what function or plugin do you use?

No plugins, I just use the built-in 'LENS CORRECTION' module and adjust manually.

That's why it's called the leaning tower of Pisa.

Works nicely, thanks!
