After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC.

Allow me to talk through what happened here. You can respond and let me know how close I am.
K?
I assume that the land was level and building was standing straight at 90 degrees to the ground. You wanted to include the tree in the shot so you shot portrait (vertical) with a wide angle lens - probably 10-22. No Exif data to check this... In doing so, you had to aim the camera up. You may have gotten the shot by backing up, but there would have been too much distracting trash (for lack of a better word) in the foreground. When you aimed up, the film (sensor) plane was no longer parallel with the building and also not perpendicular with the ground - hence, ground rises and building falls back.
Am I close?
Now. If one had a tilt-shift lens, he/she could keep the film plane perpendicular and parallel with the above mentioned objects and tilt the lens to include the tree - thus no rise and no fall back.
This would also keep the far left and right of the building from "apparently" leaning in. If the film plane was parallel with the building and the building "stood" straight, the left and right leaning in on itself wouldn't be an issue.
What's Straight
Ok. Eureka moment here... I think...
