I have a technique question regarding converging verticals in architecture. I am in the habit of eliminating converging verticals on buildings except when I wis h to emphasize some aspect of the building/composition, in which case I leave st rong converging vertical lines. For this case,I'm mainly referring to rise rathe r than fall. However, I recently showed some poloroids I shot (no converging ver ticals) to a pro here in Japan who told me that usually, a slight hint of conver ging verticals is deliberately left in the shot since it gives the viewer a bett er feeling than a shot devoid of converging verticals. Is this common practice i n the US in architecture photography, or is this just a cultural preference in J apan?
