Parallel Perspective

#architecturalperspective
 The principle to consider is called "PARALLEL PERSPECTIVE" I see so many pictures of buildings, especially the Salt Lake Temple that ignore the simple fact that the vertical lines of the building are parallel to the frame of the picture or picture plane.  All parallel lines and parallel planes have the same vanishing points.  So why put vertical perspective in the picture?  You will notice that in the example of the tiles, the horizontal spacing is equal all across the base line.  The same will be seen in vertical spacing.  Proof: take a picture of a yardstick with any good camera.

 



In this drawing, of the #Salt Lake Mormon Temple, you'll find the horizon is on a horizontal line just above the round windows, but if it were lower, the walls would still be vertical.
