As I mentioned yesterday, I also took a picture of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a tourist favorite. This one, however, is a bit different, as you can tell.

I might show a more conventional view of the cathedral in a future post, but I like this picture because it’s not the standard view, focusing mostly on the entrance. The added benefit is seeing the glorious architectural detail even better in a closeup.

I used a 36mm equivalent on the Leica D-Lux 8, but this is actually framed tighter. I used perspective correction in my post-processing, which crops further into the frame. However, the benefit is an undistorted view from street level. The building is so tall, and with limited space on the other side of the street, it’s hard to create a completely perspective-corrected image of the entire structure. But taking a subsection like this works.
