September 29 2010
In my last post I discussed how you can adjust your camera setup to ensure perfectly vertical lines in your listing interior photos and I believe that the technique is essential for any real estate photographer. But what if you have photos that are already distorted, or you have no choice but to shoot from a position that results in a distorted photo?
Well, that’s simple. You digitally modify it to make it look perfect, of course.
Before I get into how to correct distortion, let’s quickly take a look at some terms and definitions:
Keystone Distortion – when your photo has converging vertical lines that result from your camera being tilted downwards or upwards during the shoot. Although the lines converge, they will still be straight, showing no signs of bowing/curving.
Barrel Distortion – when the vertical and/or horizontal lines in your photo appear to be bowing outwards as if inflated. Typically results from using wide angle and fisheye lenses.
Pincushion Distortion – when the horizontal and/or vertical lines in your photo appear to be bowing inwards as if pinched. Typically results from fully “zoomed-in” telephoto lenses.
