wide angle perspective photos
Got any photos to share which rely on a wide angle perspecive to be successful? Here's one of my dog Buddy done with a digital camera, but it's got a viewfinder too:

The only other way to take this shot is to stand about 1/4 mile from the stadium. I think it works okay like this.

Does this photo have the wide angle look? Try to guess which focal length I used to take the shot.

DOH! Is it that obvious Rover? I always think this shot has a 28mm look to it.  |

Not that obvious, no, but I know your love of the 50mm so I just figured. |

Kris: to me the size of the good old Sun says it all. If you want to "cheat" like this, you shouldn't include stuff which are always the same size, the same distance  |

By the way, (after a short hate-period) i love my 17mm. And, lately, my 24mm too. But they are for SLR, so they don't qualify. 
So i won't upload them...but hey, i can give a . link or two
Or, even three .
Nice photos, guys!

You can't do this with anything but a wide-angle lens. This one is home-made by adapting some of the elements from a bizarre 12mm f2 lens to my Nikkor-UD 20mm F3.5. Talen with my F2AS.

Whiskers perched on my knee. Usually within 30 seconds of my arrival home from work. Just no other way than wide angle to get this shot. None of my range finders, which all have fixed normal lenses, could cut it here. 20mm Nikkor f/2.8 on Nikon N80. Bounce flash off of ceiling. Lab scanned during processing.

This may not be so obvious as it was a 65mm which on a 6x7 is about the same as a 28mm on 35mm. But is was the widest I had at the time, and due to the location, wide was necessary to get anything. This was in Clarksville, TN, taken with a Mamiya Super Press 23, about 1983 or so. Sorry about the scan. My older scanner and I never really got along well with each other. I am already better friends with the Epson 3870. This is one I hope to redo in the not to distant future.
BTW, if I don't do the attachment right, the photo is at http://www.phototalk.net/photos/data...larksville.jpg
Believe it or not, most people immediately turn this photo upside down when handed it to view.

I like it too. I like yours as well, oftheherd. Very subtle color and I really like the composition with the building clipped at the top.
I'll bet people turn it upside-down because the full building in in the reflection...

I had longed for a wide angle for some time, but when I got my new Bessa L with the 25/4 I got rather puzzled. The shots got rather messy with a lot of small people far away and table top corners that pointed rather threatening at the viewer. Slowly I am getting used to the lens. I've found a nice "wide angle role model", the french fashion (and girl-) photographer Jeanloup Sieff (see http://www.jeanloup-sieff.com/photographs.htm). |

Here's one at Durham train station that depends *entirely*, but *entirely* on being shot with a 21mm (CV Color Skopar). Whether this is successful is another question.

Michael, I think it is very successful. I'm glad you didn't chop the bottom of the post that almost divides the picture. That area along the bottom gives the only real connection between the two sides proving they are indeed in the same universe. Well, maybe the red stripes could be seen as a conflicting sign of equivalency between them...
The steep perspective on the left gives the train a sense of dynamic speed. By contrast the darker, less colorful right side has much less perspective effect... It's static, and the seated figure emphasizes that. I think it works very well to give that train station feeling!

Gene -- Very cool, eh.
I figured I would post another. I always wished I was taller (I am 5'5"), and this photo makes me look that way!
