I'm sure Jeff knows, but some of the noob viewers may not realize that those converging lines (like the flag pole leaning in) can be corrected in RAW conversion or post processing. Many people, like Jeff here, like to leave them in. I tend to take them out of my wide-angle shots.

Those converging lines are caused by tipping the sensor back relative to the subject. In the old days you needed a tilt-shift lens to adjust it out (if you want to). These days you just lay a line over two lines that you want to be parrallel and the computer fixes it for you. Magic...and a lot less expensive than a $2000+ TS lens.
