  •  Comment Alvesgaspar, thanks. As far as the distortion, it is the lesser of two evils.... in order to get the whole view I use a wide angle setting, and move the subject up close so to separate her from the background. Once I get the proportion I want, that is, main subject large enough and within her context, I click... and yes, wide angles pointing down or up distort, but in this case it was unavoidable. By lowering camera angle I would have lost the environment, same with lowering her, the visual effect would not have been the same. The only way to shoot with rectilinear precision is with perspective correction lenses or view cameras... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
