Here's another example of Rod's good point about the backwards lean of a lighthouse caused by a wide angle lens. This particular shot was taken of the what used to be the Peche Island light now located in a park on the river in Marine City, Michigan. This particular light isn't all that tall, but it was shot at the 17 mm end of a 17-35 mm wide angle zoom giving that pronuced backward lean.



Good point, Rod!
