One of the challenges of photography is that of representing a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional sheet of paper or display screen. Loss of that third dimension generates distortion which can come in many forms. Taking a minute to understand what is happening can take you a long way down the road to fixing it.

Fascinating explanation; thanks larryepage

I found this interesting, even though about painting. Check out the video about Bruneschelli.

That's a great article on one-point perspective. I downloaded one of the .pdf files on photographic lighting from the other link you provided. Great information in both links.

Keystoning: with The GIMP, use perspective correction. Be sure to not frane a scene too tightly because manynpixels may be lost. Exeriment in advance.

Interestingly, my Olympus micro 4/3rds has a keystone correction built in.

This effect is called keystoning because it resembles a keystone. It is caused by parallax. Simply the lens’ first element is on a angle to a perpendicular surface. That is why buildings look as if they are falling backwards.
To correct this phenomenon, you need a Tilt-Shift lens. It will bend the image path to correct for parallax. Because Of the mechanism this lens tends to be a little more expensive than a lens of comparable focal length. I recommend renting this lens first. Playing with the lens and it’s mechanism does take some time. Using a tripod for camera and lens is a must. You will have to “jigger” the mechanism to get the effect you seek. Be Patient! It does take some time. Since I shoot Canon, I use a Rokinon 24mm Tilt Shift. It does very nicely for tall buildings in New York City and elsewhere. So I’m not sure what would work for your Nikon. I have gotten nice results with this lens for photographing model trains and street scenes. However, it is not good for macro photos of flowers or insects.

Happy Shooting!

I do real estate photography, I use the Canon 17,t/s lens for inside and the 24 t/s for the outside shots when necessary. Neither of these lenses are auto-focus, but I don't the building is going to move anytime soon.

Luminar is good for correcting this and doesn't break the bank like PS and LR. And it's not a subscription service either.

...10 bux a month for awesome software breaks the bank? I'm thinkin', looking at my gear all over the place, that this is not an inexpensive hobby! <shrug> Shoot, I have Luminar *and* that pesky $120 a year subscription, what's to become of me? Haha, it's all perspective for me...like, I don't do alcohol anymore (30 years) so figure I have some money saved up, eh? ;0)

Just another bill, no matter how small to some, can be something to break the bank when on Social Security.
