Wide Angle View
Jan 7, 2024 09:57:04 #
The standard rule for wide angle photography is to have an anchor for the foreground so that things in the distance don't get lost. Here I'm using the texture of the sky reflection as my foreground interest. Photo was taken with black and white film. I could have reduced the grain; but I actually like it in this shot. Nikkor 24mm f/2 @ f2

It's extremely engaging, a different and fascinating pov. Doesn't feel gimmicky, feels like the perfect artistic choice.

Nicely shot Erich. Perfect subject for B&W
I had a film camera and a digital camera with me. This shot needed to be on film. Thanks for your time and impressions.

I don't shoot with really wide lenses that much; but I'm starting to understand when they can be precisely the correct tool for the job. Thanks for your time and impressions.

Erich, excellent image. Your water reflection foreground makes the image. Also, I'm very partial to B&W images. The only other thing I would explore is whether eliminating the keystoning would make an improvement or not.

Glad you liked the image. I was worried that the reflections would not work well enough to be a foreground with interest; but apparently, the clouds are fine. That's good to know. Not sure about keystoning. Actually, not sure if I know what it is. I'll have to do some research.
