Well I am new to blogging, old to photography (50+ yrs) … and new to Photoshop Elements; PSE. And I love PSE’s ability to allow you create interesting, challenging and exciting images from your base photograph. Also its abilities to correct flaws in the photograph; and I am still learning about both.  Now the West Wittering 1 image (below) was shot using a 10-20 ultra-wide zoom, set at 10, crouching close to the beach. And no matter how much I tried a certain amount of distortion of verticals crept in; introduced by the slightest deviation, at that setting, from holding the camera precisely flat & horizontal. Camera designers please note, a plumb line and spirit level indicator in the viewfinder would be useful. Yet the image was close, and it appealed to me, even with the slightly distorted groyne pillars (made them look a bit like Easter Island statues J ) . Then I noticed an item under the ‘Filter’ menu … ‘Correct Camera Distortion’  … played with it a bit and whoopiedoo I can now ameliorate that vertical distortion. The moral is to never stop learning, never give up, never surrender … I can improve.
