I´m just catching up with what I have missed during the past (super busy) week and was about to comment on your post from a few days ago where you were already discussing this topic but then I noticed you just posted this one so let me stop by here :)

As a person with a pretty severe OCD (the kind of person who would go and straighten even the slightestly tilted paintings on the wall) but also quite an avid photography (yet totally amatuer) enthusiast, I must admit I often struggle with architectural photography as it´s sometimes literally impossible to get all the lines straight and the angles symmetrical, especially when shooting with an old phone like I do :D :/ The task gets even more challenging when taking photos of some giant medieval structures like the St. Vitus Cathedral here in Prague where, super frustrated, I ended up taking pictures of just certain parts of the church and from very unusual angles :D

When photographing architecture from a greater distance, you get some distortion as well but here, you can at least compensate by going for an angle which makes the distortation same from both sides, thus creating at least some kind of symmetrical feel somewhere in between. Like in this shot for example. The colorful houses on the right are leaning to the left and the tower in the left is leaning to the right while the bottom looks pretty horizontal :)

Good to know that I´m not the only one thinking about these things though :D
