St. McCartans Cathedral, Monaghan Town – Taken 3 March 2011. EOS 7D & Sigma 10-20mm f/16
3 exposures ( -2,0,+2), tone blended in Photomatix then finished in photoshop.
Inevitable lens distortion i know.All comments read & appreciated.
Click on image for 1200×800 version.
Subject title from JS Bach ( you may be more familiar with the speeded up Mike Oldfield version – but i prefer this one.)

Have you tried to correct the distortion? photoshop is very good at it. I guess you would lose a lot of the shot if you did.
For me the geometrical distortion is a bit much, but still it adds drama and doesn’t jar as it is very symmetric.Martin
I don’t really think that is necessary to show the image with such distortion there are several tricks you could have used to here.
1 a higher starting point would have made it simpler to shoot straighter reducing the need to tilt up so much.
2 lens correction in PS would have allowed you pull in the verticals.
3 if you wanted to show the scope of this image and were worried about cropping after applying lens correction the other option would be to take 2 portrait images one to the left and one two the right, stitch these together then crop now you can have nice verticals, less obvious distortion and good wide image
