My inspiration came from looking at a calendar with buildings that were either crooked, or OOF, or both. I'm not sure I did much better (but I'm trying to learn).

Some of the photo's have very straight flag poles, but then the buildings look crooked :rolleyes:

Anyway ... here are a few of the ones I took the other day

It's referred to as "converging verticals" and occurs when the camera lens is not level on the horizontal axis. The easiest way to avoid it is to shoot with a tripod and a bubble level, which allows you to level your camera/lens before taking the shot.
