A super-wide
angle lens creates a world all its own; or, one could say, one that simply does
not look like the one we perceive due to the optics of the human eye. I carry a $20 plastic appurtenance along with
my regular camera and I’m starting to get a feel for how it renders the
physical world. I went back to the location where this was shot and was
surprised to see how shallow the space actually is.
I can very
easily see why people become toy camera junkies but I’m in no hurry to invest
in more gear or give up my more complex, slower cameras. I still love the
discipline of a very a carefully composed and technically executed shot, and
the results when it flies. I’m suspecting too that working with different
camera methodologies on a regular basis causes each to play off and strengthen each
other.
