This was an interesting exercise as the 28mm (FF equivalent) lens I'm using all this month didn't allow me to capture all of the spire without making the overall image too small in the frame and leaving a dominant foreground. Also, the graveyard slopes away from the church quite steeply and at a distance where I could have captured the building without distortion, the whole facade would have been obscured by graves.
Tilting the camera up from a medium distance enabled me to include the tip of the spire but now all the verticals were converging. I knew I could correct this in Lightroom but I also knew that I would also have to have extra space around the building to allow the correction of the warped perspective without cutting off parts of the building. In the event I lost part of the sky at top-left but Photoshop's context-aware fill easily recreated the missing part in a realistic fashion. I'm quite pleased with the end result.
This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for February it's the Fujinon 18mm f/2 on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Fuji X-Pro1) - the equivalent of a 28mm lens on a full-frame camera.
