hi all, this past monday went down to photo the memorial lights for 9/11 i'm adding a few in memory of all that were lost "RIP!!!" My question and i know it will be answered here, i use a canon 7dm2 when i put my canon 16-35 L 2.8 lens i get such bad converging lines. blue lights and the freedom tower.the vertical pic that i inserted really shows this. my camera was turned vertical to show more of the beams of light. is there anything i can do to correct this ? i know a little about tilt shift lens, is what i would need to really correct this situation ? thanks for any info bill

Good looking photos
What often helps me out, that is most of the time in like situations is: DXO View Point 3 -- Can't remember what I paid for it but not all that much -- There is also free software (name escapes me) out there that some of the Hogs turned me on to -- But the DXO works like I said "most of the time"

Railroad tracks do the same thing, right? That's why trains get smaller as they disappear over the horizon. (Before you jump all over me... it's a joke)

What lens were they taken with? The buildings on the vertical are also showing converging lines. If the lens was wide angle that might produce that effect at the edges.

If you use Lightroom, it has a tool under Develop/Transform. Click on Vertical or use Guided and the sliders. If it recognizes the blue light, then it will fix it but it was designed for buildings, walls, etc. so I don't know how it will work.
If you use Photoshop, create a new layer and go to Edit/Transform and then either Perspective or Skew. Skew gives you more manual control.

Do you have lens correction for the 16-35 enabled either in-camera or in post processing?

By keeping the lens barrel parallel with the ground (not tilted up) you will eliminate the convergence of the verticals.

wow thanks for all the quick responses. i will def look into all the tips and yes sonya the 16-35 was def tilted much more to try to get more of the lights, the first and third pics was with my 24-70 2.8 horizontal with a lot of less tilt. again thanks everyone bill

LR was my first though. It will be interesting to see what he can do with that.
