wide angle for architectural interiors

[dan m]

Thanks Cesare. I think if you are really off from horizontal it's OK - it's where it's just slightly off that it bothers me. Of course when I get to architectural shots, I'll take a lot more care. The 15mm is quite tricky. Two things I have noticed: 1) It's hard to isolate the subject, since the DOF is huge and you pick up a lot of junk in the background. Closer is definitely better. 2) It is *really* hard not to cast a shadow into the shot when the sun is behind you. Still, lots of fun so far. It's a keeper I think.

Yeah, the shadow thing is something i've found with ultra-wides. I think I should get myself a fisheye - that way, there won't be any straight lines to worry about ;-)

Thanks Cesare - I'm having a lot of fun with this one. Check out the roots on these turnips:

Thanks Cliff. Yes, even when you think you're too close you're not close enough.
