Will do. Thanks for the pointer on Photo Elements. There is a keystone correction in the full edit program.

Ok. I will pay attention to the lines of the building in the composition. I hope to photograph a swing bridge from the 1900's this fall. This will be most helpful.

You mean the vertical lines in the building itself. Right?

Thanks for the advice. I will pay more attention to the level of the camera when I shoot buildings. I was not using a tripod (vacation shot and all..) AND will check out the option to correct in my Photo Elements. Thinking a new wide angle lens may also be a good addition to my gear!

Thanks so much for the feedback and correcting the photo! I think I should invest in a good wide angle lens and investigate the capabilities of Photo Elements 10. It may have a similar feature as Corel. I did try to step back with this shot, but lost the full view of the church when I did so...:(
Thanks much!!
Thanks much!!

I took this photo of Notre Dame Cathedral a week ago when in Paris and was fairly close to the building. I shoot a Canon T3i with a Tamron 18-270 lens. The lens was set at 18mm, f/9, ISO100. The architecture is noticeably curved up on the left - which is not reality of course. When I stepped further away, the shot straightened out - well sort of (see shot #2). Just wondering what caused this. Is it a limitation with the lens at this short of a focal length? Advice and feedback appreciated!

canon 400mm 5.6 L , great lens . for that light though would be tough as it aint a fast one . 150-500 mm has the os and there are people on here that cah hand hold this lens down to 1/60 i think it was .
I will look into the Canon 400 as well. Thanks!

if your SS is larger than your focal length, try it without VR. Especially if you use a tripod VR is not necessary and in fact may cause some blurring.
Thanks! Will check it out.

Photo may have been sharper at faster shutter speed. Everyone continues to recommend at least 1/250 or better for wildlife. Your speed at 1/20 and 270mm definitely too slow for hand holding. I've just been through this myself. I just shot a lot of fuzzy pictures because of too slow a shutter speed.
Thank you! I will keep trying. :)

Great capture, but no doubt the 1/20 shutter speed made it a soft image. Hand held at that magnification you should have been shooting at 1/400 or faster, which could have been impossible under the low light conditions. A vibration reduction lens would help, as would a sturdy tripod.
Thank you for the feedback! My lense has VR. I will try this again with a tripod and bump up the shutter speed.
