Re: Some more wide angle shots of York

Nice use of ultra-wide--a tricky thing to do

Hi everyone,
I'm totally restructuring all my albums (because I can't find anything any more :-) ), so there will be more to come and some of it will be mixed together with ones that have been shown before.
I don't usually go for stretched, tilted and distorted persepctives, but I personally think this one turned out rather well - some wonderful vaulting: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/UK/York/york0232scan- Edit.jpg.html
More wide angle shots from York - street photography in the sense that I was shooting out on the streets.
Using lenses this wide (12 and 15 mm) seems to make people look like figures in an architects or artists impression for urban planning - somehow unreal and out of place.

This street artist didn't really stand out in the full colour shot or in the BW conversion. So I did both in PS :-)

Here he is again, bothering my missus:

Enjoy taking a short walk around York, and best to all from Hannover
