He showed how easy it is to straighten architectural lines as well as to correct or skew perspective. Ed showed a series of slides in which he had replaced a dull sky with interesting clouds, added a barn, put in a few grazing cows, and brightened up a foreground field by changing the color. His completely revised composition resulted in one worthy of the best nature can render. |
