Wide angle experiments
11 July 2011 | Posted in experimental, photography 
Since I had a wide angle lens at my disposal (Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L mark II) that I had rented for another project, I thought I'd make good use of it and try some experimental shots. These were shot next to the "New Orleans" building in Rotterdam. I like how the lines on one side of the building, if framed right, give the illusion that the perspective is somehow warped in an Inception-like fashion (see top photo).
The second shot was originally framed vertically, but I thought it looked better with a horizontal crop, to reduce distracting elements in the background. Still, I think the background is way too busy and distracting. Tried to clean it up in post, but that just got too contrived, so I'm going for the "raw" look.
