Outside the Tiny Chapel
Outside the Tiny Chapel

This is the view from the outside of the tiny chapel in the old Theological Seminary Building at the University of Chicago. If you plan to shoot at the University of Chicago, read my tour of the Theoligical Seminary. For this image, I used the Canon 17mm tilt shift lens to try to keep the verticals straight by using the shift function rather than tilting the lens up. To me, it looks as though the two pillars in the center are splayed out as they move to the top of the image. But according to the grid lines in Lightroom they perfectly vertical. I think this must be some kind of illusion because our eyes expect the pillars to converge when we look up at them.
Canon 17mm TS-E f/4 L Review
I've posted a short review of the tilt shift lens that I borrowed a week or so ago. You can read it, here.
