  Linda,


  Go to 


  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_distortion


  to see barrel and pincushion distortion. Wikipedia is available in many 
languages so you can take your choice; I only have English.


  Barrel distortion shows up mostly in wide angle lenses which I assume you had 
to use because of the tight space in the flat. One solution would be two shots 
with a longer focal length lens and then stitching the images together in 
Photoshop, i.e., make a panorama of an interior.


  And my solution to camera tilt is a tripod and a spirit level fixed to the 
camera to make sure it is level to begin with or, again, a correction of the 
perspective in Photoshop, which works very well for small tilts.


  Good luck!


  Bill

    Dear William and Chris,

    What is in English a "barrel" distortion...

    A lens distortion .... but what exactly  (in Dutch "een vat")

    Like a barrel of wine...

    beer...

    I tried to correct the perspective in nr/ 3

    What about 5 ....?

    Maybe Philippe can tell me what to use in photoshop...

    Yours sincerely

    Linda

      Linda,


      It is a lovely, comfortable flat and nicely photographed in flat, natural 
light, which is the way I remember Amsterdam on many days. It is a very 
appealing, well furnished home.


      In the third and fourth pictures I notice a bit of barrel distortion 
toward the right edges, and in the fifth and others, a bit of camera tilt. Love 
the cat!


      I am being "picky" about your pictures because I have the same problems 
with my interior shots and have to work very hard to arrive at the high quality 
that you have shown in your pictures. 


      I'll explain that word, which may be unfamiliar to you, because it could 
be an American-only idiom: "picky" means "paying attention to small, 
insignificant details." But they caught my eye.


      All the best,


      Bill
