   ..and I got a chance to take the wide angle Tokina 12-24mm lens out
   for a walk.

   the George Washington bridge

   [2]park view 
   View from Edgewater park

   [I saw a fellow with consulate plates driving down to this park. He
   got out of his car and walked through the empty park and stood in the
   (closed) park shelter, by a trash can.

   Okay, I just saw [3]Breach, so my brain was on 'Thriller' mode. I'm
   sure there was nothing to be suspicious about - after all, he was a
   diplomat]

   [4]beforefix 
   There was some wide-angle distortion with this shot. As it approaches
   the horizon, the bridge leans to the left..

   [5]spherize 
   Photoshop's spherize filter fixed it a bit..

   [6]pinch 
   the pinch filter seems to work, but now the foreground looks fat

   [7]lenscorrection 
   ..the lens correction tool (version C2) works best..
