Can you please tell me the circumstances of this shot? I try to do this with my telephoto lens pretty often but I can never seem to get the windows to be parallel to the frame on both sides so I just junk the picture. Is it the fact that you're extremely far away, or is it that you're in a building instead of on the ground, or is it something else entirely like post-processing?

Here's a (lovely) example of my problem:



I'm about 100m away from the building.

I'm in Iceland right now. Been in Reykjavik for 2 days, it's been 40 degrees and cloudy both days. It's an amazing, yet surprisingly expensive place. Heading inland to the Lava Fields tomorrow. I'm about as far as you get from a pro photographer, I just follow this thread for everyone else's great work, but I will report back. Might even post something! From what I understand a lot of the roads will close for the winter In the next month / 6 week. I would imagine that it's probably ridiculously picaresque when it's 23 hours of sun a day or whatever in the summer.

A lot of my shots are vertically oriented for some reason.

Couldn't you have just zoomed, adjusted your position, or cropped afterwards? Overall it seems like a very near miss -- the play between the stones and the buildings (and maybe the fence, not sure) really works and there's enough foliage throughout to justify framing the scene with it.

I'm wondering this as well. Ric's photos are always just so perfectly straight and aligned and I really like the style but I've never been able to do it myself.

That, or a very long lens and large distance, or a combination.
A parallel projection is equivalent to a perspective projection at infinite distance and infinitesimally small angle of view. Of course those are kinda hard to produce in reality, so just get a long lens and then do the remaining correction in post.

Who can tell me about traveling/photographing in Iceland? I was laid off recently with a decent severance package and am considering traveling out of the country for a week or two. Iceland has been high on my list of places to go see and take photos of for a while now but I'm not sure how good this time of year or how good my chances of seeing the aurora would be.

A bit late, but here's my Iceland album. Incomplete because post processing is too much :effort: for my incompetent head.

This was June/July and even then the weather could easily turn to poo poo/get foggy as hell without notice. If you're into the landscapes I probably would hold of. If you want to catch an aurora borealis though, now is the right season.

I was on an adjacent rooftop, almost straight but looking slightly downward.

A combination. I use lenses with minimal optical distortion, find a viewpoint that's as close as possible to what I actually want, then Photoshop polish.

I also have a view camera, but 5x4 is financially ruinous.

Dunno how I feel about this one overall but I think it would have been better if it wasn't shot at a relatively steep downward angle. I mean it's cool but I'd like some context.
