Nubble Lighthouse

So here's one of my first shots with the "new" 4x5. This was rather rushed and I'm still getting used to movements, so I didn't get much of a chance to play here. Is there anyway to correct the lean of the lighthouse?

you can correct the lean by leveling up the camera and using rise/fall to compose your image. the horizon looks level so I'm guessing you had the camera pointed upward just a little bit.
 
Thanks Mateo. Yes, it was pointed up just a hair. Unfortunately I was running late as it was but couldn't resist stopping here for a shot. Will have to go back when I have more time to play and get used to using the different movements.
 
Xia didn't rely notice the tilt, think its a good photo, like the contrast over all.
 
Thanks Mike. The tilt is not much but, is driving me nuts for some reason. Hopefully the beginning of next week I'll be able to really get out and practice using the different movements.
 
Its a good photo but your right about the leaning buildings

A touch of front rise should cure the leaning.

Get the camera level and then lift the front standard you get what you want but check the corners for vignetting.

There is nothing quick about setting up a LF but a little practice makes you less slow

Thanks Martin :smile: Normally I'm not one to rush but, I got out of work late this day and had to get home for a date but, couldn'r resist stopping...lol
 
May be the light house is leaning a bit,
but this is still a very good photo!
Love the colour, the contrast and the composition.

Thank you very much OM :smile:
