MSA O/N September, 2025 - "Wide Angle Perspective"

Andrew O'Neill said:

I think the majority of us know this, clive. But...usually when we use short lenses we move our camera's position in closer to our subject, hence changing our perspective. Are you going to participate or be picky?

I can't contribute, as I haven't used a wideangle or telephoto lens for many, many years.

Greetings!, You asked, "A question that verges on pedantry for @russljames - do you consider any photo which makes use of exaggerated perspective due to close and far subjects plus extensive depth of field to be "eligible", or must the photo involve use of a so-called "wide angle lens"?"

I hadn't given that idea thought before choosing the theme. My initial meaning for "wide angle perspective" is to submit images that were/are created with lenses considered to be in the wide angle family of whatever film format is being used. But if "exaggerated perspective due to close and far subjects plus extensive depth of field" can be created with other focal lengths, thus rendering a wide angle "look", then bring them on.
