On my recent visit to Brisbane, I took this photo of the former Bank of NSW building using my Olympus E-510 with ZD 7-14mm.<\/p>\n

As with most architectural style shots, one of the issues is getting the whole building in, while at the same time avoiding the building having converging lines.<\/p>\n

I managed to almost achieve this using this lens with the sensor plane as parallel to the building as I could before everyone started walking across the road or a car came through. This would have been easier had I had the Olympus E-30 and its vertical electronic spirit level in the view finder!<\/p>\n

I have not used any perspective control to straighten the lines (although I did rotate it a tiny amount – another reason for getting the Olympus E-30’s electronic spirit level!), and it has been converted to B&W and had general tonal adjustment and the sides cropped a little but no other PS work.<\/p>\n

This image required the 7mm focal length (14mm in 35mm terms) to achieve without getting significant converging lines of the building. It could also be achieved using a wide angle tilt-shift lens but none are currently made for Four Thirds, or, of course, you could point your camera upwards and then try to correct it all in PS.<\/p>\n
