Did you try to do a straight on shot, so that the window frame would be level? I like the image, but the frame makes me uncomfortable.

Warts on a Hillside

I was brought up believe in Scotland these were called Warts on a Hillside.

Since this isn't Scotland, and the scenery is now reserved only for those inside an expensive building, what do you call this down there in the far south? Are you in Wales or England?

I understand the lines, he had no opportunity to get straight on with the windows or railing, it's nicely evenly placed up and down on both the right and left framing.

The unequal parallelogram makes a lot of people feel weird, but they see it all the time, till it's in a photograph though, they never notice, IMHO.

Yes, I got that too - I was wondering if the converging (?) lines were deliberate - that there was a view that Ken wanted us to see, that we wouldn't get straight on.

I'm one of those that get faintly nauseous when lines (or horizons) are not straight. You're righ,t it only bothers me when the image is still. LOL

Yeah, except in Math and photography, I've never notice this kind of unusual line ups. Man, as a race we are so 'orderly', but in photography is is fun to do ANYTHING BUT!, after all, it's art, or it mechanical drafting with a lens, and I'm the art kinda guy.

Thanks, sorry it makes you feel uneasy. Square on would have resulted in the buildings being totally misplaced.

Thanks for your comments. At least the angle of view has stimulated some discussion.
I am in England Scott. but the photograph was taken in Scotland. It's taken from the Ocean Terminal in Leith, Edinburgh.

for me the window-lines are to prominent, but the view outdoors is wonderful

Ah thanks, so as Renny McKenny (sp?) might have said, it would be warts on a shoreline.

Thanks Juliette, I would have preferred slimmer window frames too. It just caught my eye as I passed and had to ve taken. I was lucky that I was in the right place at the right time with regard to the sunlight.

Apologies for the recent Jukliettes. The arthritis in my fingers has been playing me up lately. I should re-read what I've typed before submitting.
