using PS to correct perspective

I have tried photographing these balconies but been defeated given the perspective problems entailed by limited shooting venues ...the image degraded too much when corrected in PS until I tried this with the M8

the M8 has so much resolution that it allows for radical correction in PS with little loss of quality

a larger version is here Leica M8 photographs Photo Gallery by Artichoke Vinagrette at pbase.com along with other samples from my first weeks with this remarkable camera

Arthur -

 

Since your image is not displaying I assume the one you are referencing is the B&W shot of the rounded balconies. That is an excellent photo with lovely patterns, shading and tonal range. If you do anything else with it you might want to rotate it 1/2 degree to the left. This will throw off the horizon at the bottom a bit, but it will improve the more pronounced tilt at the top. Try it -- see what happens. If you like it, post it here.

Well done. You've moved it from excellent to superb.

I decided to back off the contrast a tad as well

I have tried a little.

Success - a lovely study in symmetry, and an interesting building, too.
