I've been casually taking photos for a few years. It's something I've always enjoyed and this year I wanted to take a further step into this hobby.
I recently bought a wide angle lens. Of course, I researched on discussions about convergence, barrel distortion, and vignetting from these types of lenses but I recently took a photo in Macau and noticed something I haven't seen explained anywhere.
I was hoping someone can explain why the light emitting from the lamp causes the distortion seen in this photo? Is this a type of barrel distortion? If so, why is the distortion so extreme? Is there any way I can adjust next time around?
Oh, and feedback on the photo is welcome as well.
I took the photo with a Nikon D90 using a Tokina 11mm-16mm lens.
