Spooky shot. It would look so much more threatening with vertical verticals, but how many of us have access to a shift-lens or camera with movements?

I've thought about a 24mm shift lens (or adapter). I tried fixing the verticals in post and it actually kinda lost something.

If you can afford it, it's totally worth it. Not only can you deal with keystoning, but you can really do a lot with selective focus. If I could afford a digital back for my 4"x5" cameras I'd totally do it.

I'd be using it more for perspective correction than selective focus, though I'd probably end up experimenting with that, too. The only issue is the price. 1700-2000 bucks or thereabouts for the Nikon mount. I could rent, but the problem with that kind of lens (versus renting, say, a 24-70 2.8 ) is that I'd imagine there's a bit of a learning curve involved... meaning I'd be getting the hang of it just in time to send it back, and then would have to relearn the next time I rented. I do shoot a fair amount of architecture and some interiors, so it's tempting (I can also see where it might be useful for certain types of macro/tabletop work), but I'd have to seriously consider how often I'd use it given the cost. I even looked at LensBaby, but I need the shift -- and good optics -- more than the tilt, and I don't want my stuff looking like it was done on some hipster's duct-taped Holga.

There's so much beauty in the SF Bay Area and it's even better from a bird's eye view.

...I don't know why the last one is a schematic, that is definitely not what I uploaded.
Anyway,

I had thought you meant to point out the typo in it. I was going to respond with this page from our dye laser manual:

Context: A loosely organised group of people I'm part of (mainly members of an IRC channel about our university), has discovered an amazing series of plush animals, amongst them a very, very round fox, now dubbed Fatfox by us. It has turned into a meme in the IRC channel around a year ago, and now we made another group buy. I finally have my very own fatfoxes! They also introduced a new fatfox with large pupils, dubbed drugfox by us.
Here is my new fatfox family:
