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

[Kino]

Old, 2011. Cincinnati, Ohio on a bitterly cold day.

Holga Wide Angle Pinhole camera, Arista EDU 100 film in HC 110. Exposure and development times not remembered.

I agree;only by getting closer can one get these dramatic perspectives, because perspective is a function of POV not of focal length.

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.

Which reminds me of this one from 2017:

Sure you can Clive - you just need to use the alternate theme description:

@MattKing

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.

As @russljames posted, bring them on!
Your choice of course, but I'd suggest your most recent Gallery upload called "Bullring" is eminently worthy of consideration.

Hassleblad 501C with an 80mm lens that would have liked to have been a 40mm Distagon. T-Max 100 at 100. PQ Universal reversal processed. Warm tone on account of the dichromate.
