Dining Out in Palo Alto


Got a shot of a restaurant patio before it got crowded. If you look at the gate, you are going to see barrel distortion. (Gives it a kind of Adams Family mansion effect.) Well, instead of trying to fight it, I am going to try and learn how to use it. Gonna be tricky, but we'll see what happens. If I don't try, I'll never know.

I think you successfully managed the distortion in this picture. If you didnt' mention it, I would have just assumed that it was part of the gate design. :)

Thx. I want to be able to learn to work with imperfections in lenses. It's like you and one of my co-workers said, you have to get to know your equipment and use it well. I'm trying to use this distortion well. If I can, then it turns into more of a feature than a problem.

Hi Eric,

"...I want to be able to learn to work with imperfections in lenses..."

No, it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE! ;-)
