In some ways, WordPress’ weekly photo challenge for this week is an easy one for me. The topic? Distorted. Since I shook with a wide angle lens, there is a type of distortion that occurs naturally. A wide angle lens enlarges things closest to the lens and stretches them out longer the farther away from the lens you look. I like the effect. Here are some of my favorite examples:
Sculpture at a local landscaping center.
An antique passenger plane, seen from the rear.
View of skyscraper in downtown Portland, Oregon, USA

Amazing photographs! I think they fit the theme perfectly. 🙂
I wonder. Would I you allow me to use one of these images in my Uni project? It’s an instructional piece on lenses. 🙂
Sure, I’d be honored. Which one were you thinking of using?
Probably the first but maybe the second. I may not use them, but they’re such beautiful photos I thought I’d ask just in case. 🙂 Full credit will be given of course.
Great photos. Fun angle of the skyscraper. And the blue. Ahhh. Nice.

These are great photos, even if they are a bit distorted. Great for the challenge. I used to have a wide-angled lens when I used a film camera. Perhaps I need one for my Nikon D90.
It certainly does distort one’s perception, doesn’t it?
Please feel free to drop by and view my interpretation of Distorted:
I love your entry Chris, especially the first one. Wow! Almost feels like it’s gonna take a dive! 🙂
My favorite would be the first photo …
Awesome photos.
