If you plan on shooting tall objects, don't park your heavy 4 door sedan anywhere nearby. The weight of these cars is sometimes just too much and will cause some slight tilting. :)

Actually, this is similar to one that I posted about a month ago, but this shot shows a more vivid example of distortion common to wide angle lenses. This was taken with my Canon 5D @ 24mm, F11 1/800 sec., and is slightly cropped. I hope this one looks better to you guys, because I have made some changes in my monitor and photoshop settings, in an attempt to match what I see with what everyone else sees on their monitor.

I am in the market for a 10-20 wide angle.

I am hoping distortion will be minimal such as what you just presented.

Good pic mister. :up:

Thanks for the comments guys. That makes me feel better about the changes I have made. I hope the red roofs aren't too over saturated though.

I've been having a heck of a time trying to get this right.

I feel you did well. If adjustments were made...they were good, and well within limits.

You want a saturation nightmare?

Shoot Curacao for an afternoon.:eek:
Talk about colored roofs!!!
And to top it off...do it right after your dumb ass decided to change lenses on one of the windiest islands in the lower caribbean.

I was very new...and as you can see, mucho debris on the mirror.
I had it cleaned later that night...but nearly all of my 100+ Curacao shots look this bad.

(Nikon D70 + Tamaron 18-200 lens unfiltered and dirty as fark)
