Large Format & the Shiemflug principle
Today we explored the view of converging lines through a Large Format camera taking note that not all of the wall was in focus when the front plane was diagonally positioned towards the wall. When slightly moving the front plane to align with the wall full focus was visible when on a certain degreed angle.
Photoshop as an alternative
If unable to re position yourself for the desired composition & alignment of an architectural subject, Photoshop allows you to transform & distort the image to align the building accordingly avoiding converging lines. Information is however lost in this process and cropping of the image is necessary to get rid of untidiness around the outer of the image after having been distorted. For me this option is not ideal but I see its concept.
