Crater Lake, in Oregon, looking down at the shore from one of the many scenic overlooks on the rim road. To me it looks fake, like something cooked up at ILM, but it’s not even a tilt-shift photo. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of optics than I could explain.

Shot with a Minolta XG-M and the 50mm f1.7 lens on Ektachrome 400, scanned on a Polaroid SprintScan 35+, then cleaned up, color corrected, and cropped in Photoshop 7.
