See anyone you know? This pic was part of a lecture given in 1888 by Jean-Martin Charcot a renowned French neurologist & professor of anatomical pathology. He was noting precise differences & characteristics of the PSP form of Frontotemporal Dementia even b4 it had it's own name.

(33,510 posts)Assuming a wide angle lens, the angle of the Washington Monument can't be used to indicate plumb (line perpendicular to level), but the Marine standing by the helicopter is nearly in the center of the frame and yet he's not plumb. The photo needs to be rotated a few degrees counter-clockwise.

(33,510 posts)That particular photo pops up a lot and it bugs me that it has both the distortion caused by the lens and it has a slight clockwise rotation to it. (Yes, I realize it was a press photo and not a formal portrait, but there are supposed to be people back at the 'news room' to correct things like that).
Even if the rotation were corrected, the Grotesque Orange Pustule would still be standing in an unnatural way. He's just not right.

(6,450 posts)It is a standard wide angle lens (24or 28mm maybe?). Why would you want to correct the "rotation" of the photo? It looks like a fair representation of what was going on. I don't see it as "distorted".

(10,807 posts)Even without the slight rotation it's a goofy stance. No need to over do it to be honest.

(33,510 posts)Rotating that counter-clockwise until the W. Monument is plumb causes the SS guy in the left background, Donnie Doofus, the trees behind Doofus, and the marine by the helicopter to be tilted to the left, while the man at the right of the image is still leaning right. Rotating to make the centerline of the marine plumb makes everything look reasonable, but Doofus still has an unnatural-looking forward lean. (Gimp tells me I'm rotating -0.72).

(10,807 posts)It's still an awkward stance. He's a weird dude.
