Pincushion distortion


A lens flaw or aberration that can be visible when photographing with telephoto lenses and causes parallel lines in an image to bow inwards towards the center of the frame. The result is reminiscent of the look that would be achieved by printing an image on a pincushion. Using post-capture tools like as Photoshop, it is possible to make the necessary adjustments.
