Point one at the wrong moment in the wrong place and you get a novelty gimmick — curved horizon, bloated foreground, everything looking simultaneously too close and too far. The effect announces itself before the subject does, and once a viewer’s eye catches the distortion, the distortion is all they see. This is the trap most photographers walk into with ultra-wide glass: the lens becomes the photograph.
