Why am I constantly surprised by soft--or non-existent--corners in my negatives? I don't use extreme movements much, but when I travel I often shoot what's available, and that is often architecture. I just came back from a business trip to the US an have several negative that, but for soft corners, would be nice. In one, I had an old mission church with a fence and gate. The gate and front door were not aligned in reality, but sneakily I used shift (I never use shift) to line them up and make a pleasing (or boring) symmetricallity (is that even a word?). Bam - I develop the negative and the whole upper left corner is gone. Why don't I see it? And how can I improve my technique so I do? (I'm already plotting to replace my lenses with some with better coverage).
Thanks for suggestions
