An attempt to capture the beautiful Nidarosdomen in Trondheim. One of the moments I have missed something wider than my 18-55 kit lens. But it provided an opportunity to test out PSE's Lens Correction feature. Did I succeed?

All with K200D and the DA 18-55 mm AL II kit lens.

In both the shots from an angle (ie 1 and 2), the right tower looks noticeably taller than the left one, though in reality (judging from face-on 3 and 4) this isn't the case. This is obviously perspective distortion rather than lens distortion, but it perhaps illustrates the limitations of software correction.
