    Wide Angle Photos (warning 9 photos)

    I believe that the ulrawide lens gives ordinary places a special dignity and gravity. To illustrate, I present 9 photos taken during my walk to McDonalds and back (for supper tonight).

    Don - Go for quality, not quantity with your shots. Some of these, there doesn't seem to be any reason to take them other than digital shots are free. That being said, some are interesting, and some are not-so-interesting... I like the fellow walking in the big red building area, but the tilt's a serious problem. You may be able to rotate and still get enough usable area to make it work. The fence is a nice angle, makes the pedestrian subject more interesting. The bottom shot has some nice attributes - blue sky, interesting branches, and blurry car that seems to say something, like 'A tree is in no rush, humans are.' The other shots mostly suffer from poor composition, like trees in the way or bear almost out of the picture, or from unexciting subjects. I guess they work as a chronicle to daily life though.

    That's always been my way of doing business and preferred way doing things here.
    I feel that when you post more than one photograph in a critique thread, you're overwhelming the viewer.

    Don. I also have that 10-20mm sigma and like you like it very much.
    I like the fence shot. I think that one is really only possible with that lens.
