I'm going to guess one of the subject for a lot of our photos are homes, exterior and interior shots.

I'm also going to guess a lot of us have never heard the term "Converging Verticals" If you are a Real Estate Photography they are one of the hard and fast rules. "FIX CONVERGING VERTICALS". They happen when the camera isn't straight to the subject. In this example the camera was located to the right and well bellow the home at street level

I borrowed this image from the Denver Realtor's photo gallery.

1. The first image is the screen capture of the shot. Notice how the up and down lines would come together at some point if they were followed off the picture. These are converging verticals.

   




2. Second using Photoshop Elements filters/camera distortion/ I fixed the verticals so they are up and down.

   




3. Third The sky was a little washed out and the shadows were dark. I brought up the highlights to make the home appear brighter and more inviting.
   Total time involved: less than 5 minutes. It took longer to write this post.
