Wonderful opportunities there for Adams Mill Bridge. For instance, what are the light effects inside the structure from that window? Are there other vents on the far side? I like what I see already. "Establishing" shot, indeed. <g>

I'm from northern Wisconsin and the country throughout is crowded with quaint views.I'd love roam through your part of the world. Might never get the chance, though. Not getting any younger here, unfortunately.

Conditions and usage may vary by user as may definition about whether it is noticeable. A critical eye deliberately looking for any minute trace of falloff can usually find it with nearly any lens in nearly any photograph. :-)

Not noticeable (to me):

  http://johnlind.tripod.com/oly/gallery/om60.html
  (an "establishing shot" which I should redo using the 24mm,
  35mm shift or a different perspective)

Very noticeable:

  (the very nature of the subject material enhances the falloff)

All are uncropped without any manipulation to correct for falloff (attempts at it with some images have never been successful). I have others that fall between these two groups; they just happen to be what has been scanned.

Agree on all except the falloff, it is not noticeable only under certain
