One impossible shot

[cjogo]

Certainly not overexposed on my monitor. I like the view, the processing but the angle of the shot is off putting. I accept it was a difficult shot to get - going by your description - but easily straightened in PS and worth the effort.

You have my permission to grab the shot and manipulate -- reload it back here.   I tried and lost too much of the image.  I think the right side might have a perpendicular-vertical  line.  With a SLR I always had a grid screen ... there was no CS to "repair"  > You had to edit BEFORE you took the shoot

Thanks for the offer but I don't believe in editing images that have already been edited, especially low rez jpegs. To edit properly an image like this then the original has to be imported to PS, converted to a smart object and as you have pointed out have room round the edges that can be cropped. You would need to start from the beginning again.

Looks straightened -- but too much to lose of the image > if I was to crop  

Maybe just don't know the procedures in SMART OBJECT  -- never used that application  >> just the TRANSFORM ..

It may be a good test for LR5's new upright tool.

[cjogo]

I think TRANFORM does the same -- BUT they all loose some of the image ...  I would say 97% of all my photos are corrected in camera  This one was unavoidable ..

[jjj]

LR's new tool can do it automatically though.
If I take a shot that can't be done 'correctly' in camera I shoot a bit wider so that once transformed I don't lose parts of the image I want.

[cjogo]

Never have used LR ... mainly just scan my early art negs --- I think LR would be just great for DSLR, though   ~!  I almost always correct in camera ..just old school training from the view camera.  You could not "fix" in post work from the analog days 

[jjj]

Certainly it's aways best to get it right in camera, but like the Louvre shot sometimes it's just not possible.

[cjogo]

Glad I didn't fall -- not for my body being broken  BUT fear for all my camera gear hanging on me 

[jjj]

Hurts when you land on it too I'd guess! 

[cjogo]

Dangerous stuff to fall on --

I didn't know you couldn't take a camera inside the Louvre.

 This must be after you weren't required to use tripods to take photos  

I figure that would be about 1/4 second at 5.6  with my Hassy
