Hi Scott.
The lighthouse was the reason I was commissioned to photograph the scene
I think he had in mind the lighthouse
distortion.
Speaking of which... isn't it the easiest problem in the world to solve when shooting panoramics? I mean, by taking a shot where the lighthouse is in the middle (i.e., no distortion, even if you would use a fisheye), rather closer to the edge?
P.S. Hey, Isaac, you still think big names do not get a fair share of criticism?
