•  Comment May I please point out that what are you looking at is a rare image of three rare each by itself atmospheric optics phenomenon. The quality of the image is as good as it gets for pictures of these phenomenon.The image was taken with 8mm fisheye lens. I wanted to get Golden Gate Bridge into the image.Thanks.--Mbz1 16:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Somehow unconvinced by choice of 8mm fisheye as a good image. It seems to distort the meaning and the value and was created to shoot artistic and creative rather than valuable pictures. A standard wide-angle would actually allow me to see how it looks like in reality imo. Freedom to share 22:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• May I please mention that 8mm fisheye lens distored the image in general, but fogbow, glory and the Spectre look exactly as they do in the real life and as I saw them.I have 18 mm lens and 8 mm lens and nothing in between. I always use 8 mm lens to take a fogbow images (I bought it for fogbows) because fogbows do not fit in 18 mm. I'm afraid that, if my fogbow images have no value, it means that all fogbow images uploaded to Wikipedia and to Commons so far have no value because they all were taken by me and by my 8 mm fisheye lens.;)On the other hand it is really great that voters at Commons are thinking more and more about the value of the FP images.You might be interested to check this gallery of fogbow images at a very famous atmospheric optics site.--Mbz1 23:30, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment Actually, a fisheye lens will not have distorted the fogbow in the way that a rectilinear wide angle would have. A fisheye projection will maintain circles as circular which makes it the better choice for photographing a circular object in wide angle. Mfield 15:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
