Re: [OM] (OT) High Noon

[Chuck Norcutt]

The lighthouse was slightly tilted but the biggest problem was 
significant perspective distortion which should have been corrected with 
a view camera.  I couldn't stand it.  My wife didn't know what I was 
talking about.  That's usually the case with us when it comes to things 
photographic.  :-)
