Tutorial Overview
In this digital photography tutorial we look at ways of avoiding and removing linear distortion in buildings. We start off on location shooting an old church.
We then move on to discuss linear distortion, and highlight several ways in which we can avoid it. Following our shoot we take a look at several of our images shot on different focal lengths and compare them.
We then proceed into Photoshop to experiment with correcting an image, and comparing the results to the original.
Finally we look at another image where we show how we can use the same correction techniques as a special effect to add distortion to our shots.
