Can you believe what you see in pictures?

This optical illusion is called foreshortening, telephoto lenses will do that. It compresses the scene. I and many others love doing this with highway scenes. Makes them look like roller coasters, when in fact, they are just slight hills.

A fence on a hill would never show straight unless the picture were in alignment with it. It is the point of view.

Here is an unaltered picture of my nephewâs fence in Newalla, Oklahoma. Took the picture with my Nikon p900. The fence is actually perfectly straight. Why the distortion?
Starving Artist got it right away.
Move your camera position to the left so the fence posts line up, and you will get an image of the straight fence.

If your lens distorted the fence, then every
photo with this lens would also be distorted!
I believe the fence zig-zags.
That's my opinion.
