Inevitably, the camera must
be
tilted
in
order to
include the top
of
the building and minimize the
foreground
(Fig.
2).
But with the camera tilted, the
plane of the film
is
no
longer parallel to the subject,
and because the
image
size
varies according to subject
distance, the nearer parts of the subject are repro-
duced on a scale larger than those farther away.
The sides
of
the building appear to converge,
as
if the
building were leaning back or falling. Similar distor-
tion occurs
in
horizontal lines
when
photographing a
long line
of
buildings at
an
angle.
