If you would to dive into architectural photography, be sure to check out our three tutorials with Mike Kelley in the Fstoppers store. While you'll lose a lot of the image to having to re-crop it and a dedicated tilt-shift lens will generally give sharper results, it's a very good and mostly acceptable solution, particularly for those of us who don't specialize in architecture.
#CAMERA LENS DISTORTION AND INSTAGRAM HOW TO#
If you want to correct those issues in camera without changing your framing, you'll need a tilt-shift lens, but if you're just looking to correct just a photo or two at a time, Lightroom has some excellent options, including the Guided Upright tool, which Nathaniel Dodson shows how to use in this tutorial. The lens used in a camera is not a perfect piece of glass, so some form of distortion might be present in the image it captures. This results in vertical perspective distortion, which makes it look as if the buildings are not upright and are falling away from the camera. It is caused by the distortion from the camera’s lens. Very often, people walk around a city, taking architectural shots by pointing the lens at an angle above the horizon to fit the buildings in the frame. This helpful video will show you how to correct perspective distortion using only Lightroom. You can also get other programs, such as the freeware Irfanview, which will read a Nikon NEF file (with a plugin) and convert it to any of a number of other formats including JPG and TIFF.Į.t.a while looking around for further info I find you posted on another forum, and it seems that the problem was a corrupted NX program which is now working OK.If you've ever been out and about and taken a photo of a tall building with a wide angle lens, you've probably noticed a weird phenomenon in which buildings appear to be falling away from you or into the center of the frame. Unfortunately, it seems there is no way you can process a NEF file in the camera and save it again as a NEF it always saves as a JPG. You can copy all the files to JPG without disturbing the originals, and although that limits your post processing possibilities, at least you have something you can work with.
The following lenses support the lens compensation features: Product Repair. It is activated when a compatible lens is attached to the camera. If the camera itself can still preview the NEF files, try doing a JPG conversion in camera. Lens compensation automatically adjusts and corrects for light fall off at the edges of a picture (aka shading), chromatic aberration, and distortion for the attached lens when shooting. Positive values introduce pincushion distortion negative values introduce barrel distortion. First, it is optically easier to do, which means one can make lenses that are better in other metrics (such as chromatic aberration, resolution, vignetting, etc) while remaining small enough and light enough to fit into the body of an action camera. Clickless aperture ring for smooth operation in video shooting. High quality built and sophisticated exterior design. The 23mm f/2 lens and 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 back-side illuminated sensor ensure minimal distortion and exceptional image and video quality, while the powerful X-Processor supports superfast autofocus.
#CAMERA LENS DISTORTION AND INSTAGRAM PROFESSIONAL#
Fast f/2.8 lens for compact APS-C sensor mirrorless cameras. Capture professional photos with this Fujifilm X100V silver digital camera. Create panel > (Cameras) > Object Type rollout > Physical > Lens Distortion rollout Distortion Type group None (The default.) No distortion is applied. There are two major advantages to recording fisheye distortion rather than rectilinear distortion. Tokina announced a new SZ 8mm f/2.8 fisheye APS-C lens for Sony E and Fujifilm X mount: Lightweight (280g) and compact (overall length 52mm) construction. That way, whatever happens, you will still have the original copies. Lets you add distortion effects to the rendering. If no luck with getting a better read, the first thing I'd do is make sure the files are copied somewhere safe, like to the hard drive or elsewhere. I have a card reader for my desktop that randomly claims a card is write protected when it is not, and the ViewNX2 program on one computer claims files are unsupported where the same program on another picks them right up. Sometimes they need to be reinserted, or sometimes one computer will read them differently. SD cards seem to be a little temperamental.
If you were reading the card directly, try reinserting it or using a different reader, or linking to the camera. If you were linking to the camera, try reading the card directly. The first thing I'd do is try reading the files again. Not sure, in part because I'm not sure what program you are using.
