Horizons are slightly askew, or I was leaning back slightly. Usually, I find out going through my images later that I wasn't squared up to my subject even though I thought I was. – but I'm horrible at lining them up correctly. I don't know, I just like boring photos I guess?įor whatever reason, I'm drawn to the types of photos where perspective distortion is painfully obvious – signs, sides of buildings, etc. Apple is tackling this problem with a unique approach in the iPhone 11: by capturing more data outside of the frame.


More often, this effect will be corrected in software, but doing so usually requires the user to stretch the top of the image and crop to avoid the blank spaces this creates at the bottom of the frame. Cinerama leaning back – a natural result of pointing my camera upwards to capture the whole building.Īnyone who has stood at ground level and taken a photo of a building across the street has likely seen the effects of perspective distortion – you tilt your camera back to bring the whole building into frame, causing the straight lines of the building to appear to be 'leaning back.' Tilt-shift lenses are designed for exactly this problem, but they're expensive, specialist optics.
