more wide(ish) angle tomfoolery


more wide(ish) angle tomfoolery, originally uploaded by edfooliu.

I'm really starting to like how short focal lengths can make some.ugh, note
to self: I need to find more subtle/specific ways to describe what's
happening in photos besides 'dramatic'. I really like the detail on the
pipe.the splotchy, rusted dirtiness of it is a nice contrast to the trim,
uniform lines that otherwise dominate the rest of the shot. For some reason
it just felt a better subject than the row of cars. I made a few attempts
to shoot the cars, but they just made for lousy subjects. For one, black
cars are impossible to get proper exposures of. but for whatever reason, the
cars seemed to work much better as part of the background.
