Thanks for the replies folks....


unfortunately "higher elevation" isn't an option at that location as it's just buildings and a dock. I was already on private property at 4:30am (a barking rottweiler announced my presence; luckily the area was deserted) ...climbing to the roof of one of the dock shacks in the dark didn't seem too smart. And I guess I'd need quite a bit more elevation than that anyway...


These types of distortions are simple enough to correct. Right now I'm trying to get an idea of what's objectionable and what's not. I look on the various photo sites and see leaning buildings all the time...then again, postcards, framed photos displayed around town (the stuff that sells) - there are no leaning buildings in those...


I suppose I'll want a T/S at some point. Sure wish they weren't so expensive... Everything I shoot outdoors has buildings or bridges in it, and it's rarely possible to keep the camera level and still capture them in full.


Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
