it’s something…

I was downtown over the weekend and decided to park at Lake Eola and see if I could find any interesting shots. I snapped a few shots of the skyline, but figured that they would turn out kind of “meh”, but actually they came out pretty decent. OK I think it is a bet better than decent, but I am not exactly sure what I am liking about it.

Maybe it is the level of detail.

Maybe it is how much of the skyline fit into one shot.

Whatever it is that I like about, one thing that is for sure interesting is the building on the right side that is “leaning”. I think this optical illusion is called parallaxing* or something. It has something to do with the round lens and bending light beams or some shit. I read about it, and even read about correcting it somehow with photoshop, but fuck it…

Oh yeah I did crop this to make it look more “panoramic”.

*It isn’t called “parallax” but it is a good word so I am leaving it in there, but I wanted to try to save some face and add this note since I fucked up…plus “parallax” is a great word.
