    Canals of Amsterdam - C&C Welcome

    A recent trip to Amsterdam - a photo from one of the canal tours we took - C&C Welcome.

    I know the place. Pay more attention to the position of the camera. It's now positioned upwards. Try to correct that in pp and see the difference.

    A nicely balanced scene and lighting Eric. From what I remember of the Amsterdam canals, every house leans in a different direction.

    Interesting input George - I went with a bit lower angle to give it some feeling of depth. That being said, here is a quick adjustment in PP to see the impact.

    I like this look as well, I think this emphasizes the buildings and the varying angles. I am not sure how i feel about the buildings in the far background, they look arched...maybe a bit more work when I have time. Thanks again for the feedback.

    I prefer the first composition, I think you went too fare with the distortion correction as now the buildings are leaning back. I don't know if that is an actually or an illusion but the buildings near the vanishing point appear to be wavering.

    Thanks John - Yes you are right, I pushed it too far. I backed off a bit, this is more reasonable.

    The buildings in the end are situated on a canal that's just making a curve right there.
