1. If it's diffusion: But that happens in the atmosphere - not in the camera, right? So why is there more diffusion if the sun is higher up?Herbert Prinz wrote:
Dunno.
2. If it's distortion: Why does it not equally affect the distance of the sun from the horizon? (Or else this is a noon shot after all.)
If its apparent distortion due to use of a wide angle lens, then it will be more apparent closer to the edges of the frame - which are where the higher suns are.
