I can’t copy the pictures at the above location (I’m on my girl’s computer) but I was wondering how I could get the trees not to lean. I attempted to duplicate to see if the focal length had something to do with it but couldn’t repeat the image. ANy ideas?

Shooting at the wide angle focal length is the likely culprit. In some cases, however, trees do lean into the light and into the open space.

Avoid tilting the camera up or down.

There you go, Bill de showed you how post processing can fix a photo. PP can do major things with a photo, especially if you shoot in RAW. I highly reccomend shooting in RAW and learning PP.

Same concept as Bill de, agree with Whuff, if you use a PP software like Lightroom use 'Lens Correction' and 'Transform', most software has the same features just named a little different.

my software calls it two things. The automatic module is called Perspective. The other is part of the Crop and Rotate Module -> keystone -> <select lines to make parallel>. I do pp (with a program called darktable), I was just wondering what you thought I should use as the vertical lines seeing as there are no man made straight lines. But now that I think of it I suppose that because there is nothing perfect I could just use the trees and then eyeball it into shape.
