Title: road to the hill
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on June 19, 2014, 02:46:03 pm

At least I wasn't run over...

Does a square crop improve it?

I think it does.

Do I sense a slight barrel distortion?

I prefer the square, too. There's more room for the scene to breathe.

Square, no question! In the portrait version, the hill is too far. The road portion is too large and doesn't bring much to the scene.

Looks like the Wilson Cliffs just outside Las Vegas in the Red Rocks area.

I didn't know that what why they were called, Rajan, but you've got the location.

Slobodan, I'm not sure what you're looking at. There shouldn't be barrel distortion, as the 24-105 was at 88mm and I had the LR lens correct enabled which I would hope would have caught anything remaining.

The square crop works well.

I don't really see any distortion - maybe the slight rise of the road gives that impression ?
