Image:Petrified forest log 1 md.jpg, featured[edit]

A petrified log in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, U.S.A.

  • Comment: The horizon appears domed due to the local landscape, not due to the wide angle lens. Wide angle lenses can make the edges of the frame appear distorted, especially in the corners. But in this case the horizon is near the center of the frame, the area with the least possible perspective distortion. (I have other images of the same place which show the same uneven horizon line with different lenses.) Equipment: Canon EOS 20D, EF-S 10-22 lens at around 10-12mm; polarizer; low-angle sun behind and to the right of me. -- moondigger 12:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
