G(enerik), it is a wide angle -- a 10mm, which on my camera has an effective focal length of 15mm. Ultra-wide. The same lens on your Canon would be 16mm EFL. I was about two feet from the shrub and porch steps for this shot. It's a fun lens, I have to try and use it more.
Donna, this shot took me back, as I went to elementary school a couple of hundred yards up the street from here. It was a different world way back then. It's striking, the change. There used to be a bunch of conservative old white Protestant folks moldering away in these houses. Polite old ladies and such. Now they're old shells on a too-busy street. Today's old folks live in suburban ranch houses with about 2% the taste and interest but 200% less draftiness. This one appears to be owned and maintained (empty) now by the nearby library association. It would make a fine museum (of my childhood, natch).
I've got a 10-20mm wide angle that I've been playing with a little more lately. The picture of the woman on the couch from two weeks ago was shot with that. I spent a few days shooting with that exclusively, just trying to see what I can and can't do with it.
The first thing that came to mind was "whatever happened to baby jane".
ReplyDeletesorry, don't know why.
cool angle.
Love the color in this.
ReplyDeleteGreat rake on that porch.
ReplyDeleteNice. Looks almost like it was taken with a wide angle. Was it?
ReplyDeleteThanks. And, hey, George.

ReplyDeleteGenerik, mine is a 10-20mm too. Sigma. Do we have the same lens?
ReplyDeleteMine's also a Sigma. Maybe we do!
