    Re: In London...

    I think some of the distortion has to do with how i was standing taking the pic... I did get the effect I was going for ... as the building is just Massive, I wanted to show that in the picture I took (the full version is awesome.. you can really see every tiny detail)... and on such a drab day (are there any other kind in london?...lol) I was shocked it turned out as well as it did...

    I do have other pics, but not very many.. I'll get more when i return

    thanks for your comments

    VK, I think Pixie did a fine job with the tones and contrasts of the building, and I like your perpective and framing of it, but the lens distortion is really putting a downer on this. i think it still is appealing and keeps me looking at the fine architecture, but the distorted lines are awkward in this shot. I feel as if the building will fall on me.What an incredible looking piece of work that is. Any more shots from here, or from London in general?
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I am really glad you enjoyed your visit to London - my city! The National History Museum (for that is what it is) is a really hard building to photograph well - it is just too big to get more than a little bit in. I am impressed that you posted this one, instead of the usual Big Ben/Parliament/Tower Bridge/etc. Just for fun I did a version of your image with the lens distortion corrected - hope you don't mind.

    Cheers
    Mike
