Of course they are normal for a super wide which is not level. I just
thought the effects were interesting and amusing, particularly with a
tower that is already leaning added to the visual confusion!
Shooting those kind of views with super wides is always a challenge. Do
I kep it level and crop most of the bottom off later, or frame the shot
I would like and live with the distortion. I've been known to shoot
both, thse have the same dilemma again later with the results. Maybe I
need a 24mm shift? Nah, I have Photoshop now.
The sample full pixel shot is great, but I still can't read the
inscriptions at the bottom of the monument. Oh (head slap) that's 'cause
they are in Italian. :-) The lens may be even better than this
excellence shot shows when a higher resolution sensor E-x appears with a
weaker anti-aliasing filter!
On the next set, I find many shots I like again. And again I find an
amusing super wide perspective, this one less commonly seen, in 3612,
where the buildings on the left look like they are going to fall into
the canal, this time from aiming below level. Not a complaint, mind you,
just observation and enjoyment of the images.
