Learning

I just bought my XTi and went out Sunday to shoot some of Chicago, I learned one thing, do not shoot tall buildings from the ground. How do you shoot tall buildings without them all tilting in different directions?

I'm fairly new at this too, but I think you could use a tilt shift lens to correct the perspective on the buildings. You can read more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_correction_lens

Hey harleydog, I really like your last shot! Nice composition.

Like the flagpole shot, looks great.

Ditto on the flagpole shot. Fantastic perspective.

You have to have a tilt-shift to correct the tilt of the buildings. That's the only way to fix the perspective problem.
