I think you may agree with me that this posting deserves a Sub-title --

"Proof as to why I should own a Tilt Lens"

All photos were taken back in 2013 with some really bad post-processing on my part --
Just re-post-processed & they now look better.

These buildings were built in Riga, Latvia between 1910 to 1913.
Was told by the tour guide to NOT call this architecture ART DECO -
But instead, call it Art Nouveau the forerunner to Art Deco which took place during the 20's & 30's.
But what the hell I like the term Art Deco & I snapped the photos!!
If you have the time click-on "Download" which should provide more of the detail in these buildings

Hope you find this style of Architecture as interesting as I did

Your vertical lines are pretty good, despite not using a T/S lens!!

Glad you liked the photos -- Trust me you will never see my "crappy" initial 2013 attempts --
As you know there have been lengthy discussions in this Forum on the merits both +/- of shooting in RAW -- My favorite reason for snapping-in Raw is that if you know you got it more or less right in-camera --
All is not lost --
With RAW you can always -- even in my case -- years later -- give it another go to get it better

Very nice shots. That being said, the first one reminds me of the martian in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
