What wonders a lens can do

Powerline carries this photo of yesterday's demonstrations in Lebanon:

Looks like a big crowd, right? The buildings far off look real small, and the crowd seems to extend into forever. But is it really? The best way to tell is to look at the building on the left:

See the curve? That's from using a very wide angle lens. Now take a look at the far background of the picture:

(There is a larger version available if you click on it. If you notice, there is a quite pronounced curvature of the landscape in the distance. Both of these point to the use of a wide angle lens that was used to take the shot. It makes the demonstration look much larger than it would ordinarily. The reason for this is the same reason why car manufacturers have the "This image is closer than it may appear" warning on passenger side view mirrors. In this case, because the image is from a wide angle lens, it makes everything look farther than it really is, thereby making the demonstration look larger than it really was. How many people were there? I don't know, but the claim of 200,000 demonstrators seems dubious, IMHO.
