emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Storbæltsbroen Taken tonight. One of the longest bridges in Europe at the Great Belt. Should I correct for wide angle perspective distortion? With distortion: Corrected: Any other comments also very welcome. regards Brian Nov 25, 2012 at 06:04 PM

Fred Miranda Offline Admin Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Storbæltsbroen Hi Brian, Corrected or not, you got a winner here. The blurry waters lead the eye to the distance. Very nice comp. I like the correction when I look at the bridge (top right) but on the left side, it's not necessary and it actually removes a nice part of the image (bottom left) Thanks for sharing!

emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Storbæltsbroen Thanks for the comments, Fred. Perhaps the straightening was a little brutal. I will try something more subtle (and local) for my next go, or perhaps just get that 17mm T/S I have been trying to convince myself I need for the last few years. Brian Nov 26, 2012 at 07:02 AM

dakel Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Storbæltsbroen If you hadn't shown the corrected one I still would've really liked the uncorrected one. However having both together and I say the corrected one works better for me Nov 26, 2012 at 07:06 AM

teked Offline • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Storbæltsbroen Corrected version for me, Brian. Wonderful image. Really like the perspective on this. Cheers, Ed Nov 26, 2012 at 02:33 PM

emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Storbæltsbroen Thanks for your comments, dakel and Ed. regards Brian Nov 26, 2012 at 10:30 PM

Matt Tilghman Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Storbæltsbroen Lovely.... I really love how there are two things competing to draw your eye into the distance: the bridge, and the more rickety looking thing (net?) Corrected version for me. Nov 26, 2012 at 11:32 PM

JimFox Offline • • • • • • • Moderator Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Storbæltsbroen Hey Brian, What a cool looking shot! I like this, as to the WA distortion, you might want to try the Warp tool to pull down just the one side to straighten it out. By using that, it's a bit more work, but then you won't lose any of the shot. Jim Nov 26, 2012 at 11:32 PM

ChiShutter Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Storbæltsbroen Love the shot. I prefer the distortion-corrected version, FWIW. Nov 26, 2012 at 11:37 PM

Mirza Ahmad Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Storbæltsbroen I quite like this image, the stormy waves in the mid-half of the image really add to the composition, to be honest I did not even glance at the bridge. Mirza Nov 26, 2012 at 11:50 PM

philtax Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Storbæltsbroen Hi Brian, I like the great sense of motion you've got here. It makes an interesting contrast with the bridge and the nets. This is a very striking image. Phil Nov 27, 2012 at 12:57 AM

Lightsearcher Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Storbæltsbroen Beautiful shot, the corrected one works for me. Marcelo Nov 27, 2012 at 02:07 AM

emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Storbæltsbroen Thanks very much for the comments, guys. Jim: I thought there must be something that could make the adjustment locally, I don't have photoshop (which I am guessing you are referring to) but I guess that pixelmator has something similar. I'll look into it. I really like the bottom left corner in the original so I think I would really like the best of both worlds, a straight bridge and the rest of the picture as-is. Regards, Brian Nov 27, 2012 at 05:53 PM

LizzieShepherd Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Storbæltsbroen Super image, Brian - love the sense of movement and the colours and light are spot on. In an ideal world it would be nice to get the bridge a little more vertical but not sure how you'd go about it as suggested without photoshop - maybe get someone who has it to do so if your software won't? You would love the 17TSE by the way - it's a brilliant lens - clearly you have proved your need for it now ;-) Lizzie Nov 27, 2012 at 06:32 PM

emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Storbæltsbroen Thanks very much for your nice comment, Lizzie. I really appreciate it. I *know* I would love the 17 ts-e, the cost is the "only" thing holding me back. regards Brian Nov 28, 2012 at 05:07 PM

DavidWEGS Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · Storbæltsbroen corrected is better IMO, but either work well for the shot. Nov 28, 2012 at 06:49 PM

rt007 Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · Storbæltsbroen Absolutely beautiful. Nov 28, 2012 at 08:56 PM

Fo Tollery Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Storbæltsbroen IMO, the diff between the original and the corrected versions are so minimal as to be inconsequential. The kind of thing a *few* photographers might immediately notice, but likely nobody else would give a hoot. It's such a nice image that I doubt many would have any concerns. Of course, if you blew it up to 8'x6', maybe then it would stand out a bit more. Nov 29, 2012 at 01:34 AM

emux Online • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #19 · Storbæltsbroen Thanks for the comments David, rt and Fo. Fo: I guess the leaning bridge just helps to establish the wind direction. Brian Nov 29, 2012 at 04:41 PM
