why straight buildings in Los Angeles tilt after their picture is taken. Please explain in less than 20 words as I lose interest very quickly.



Open to full width for second tilting building

I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

 
Because your wrist strap causes a linear imbalance in the camera forcing a shift in perception allowing the formentioned tilting. Wouldn't happen with a neck strap. Sorry, but you can't argue with physics. (-:

Same reason why a road or railroad is narrower far away.

Yes. The farther you drive, the smaller you become. For example, if you drive from LA to New York, your car will only be a couple of millimeters tall when you arrive. To accommodate this phenomenon, they make the roads smaller with distance. Photoshop CS2 has a handy new tool to reverse it, restoring you and your car to original size after you arrive. It's practically magic.

Very bad attempt : getting big letters left on up young photographer has forgotten to change wide against zoom lenses :--)

Less than 20 words ...

Actually, photographical explanation isnt correct here. In my knowledges its visual effect to our eyes. Many long straight lines with patterns seems rounded.

...you have one leg longer than the other.

( By the way, why would most people say, "one leg shorter?" Why is the long one the standard by which legs are measured?)

Well, for me, personally, I have always had short legs and one is shorter than the other. Of course, I (we lost Fred right here at word 20) want the longer one to be the 'norm' as it is closer to the two inches longer that I wish both were. On the other hand, if I was 6'10" tall and mostly legs, I would probably say one leg is longer. Long legs are considered sexy on women and most women find a tall man with long legs sexy. (Okay, how many other people have I lost??? LOL) I could go on and on and on...
