Hay Rake - Thomas Munch

I've always been interested in the distortion that a near-far perspective allows, so I decided to see how large I could make the wheel on a hay rake appear (with my recently acquired 28/2.8 Biogon, manual focus at about 2m).

Nice

I've always loved the 'near and far' effect available with the wide angle lenses.

Where was

your point of focus, just out of interest. I do not have the B28mm but found in the past that D28mm never gave me as much of a whoosh effect as I wanted...now where did I put that spare £500 for the 21mm?

I was experimenting with the 28 and a table of hyper-focal distances this day...I think I manually focused just slightly beyond the wheel in the foreground. Yes, a 21 would have been nice this day...but I'm content with the 28!

Strong

This is a very strong image, I love the way the blue sky and clouds show through the spokes of the wheels. Perfect use of the 28 mm.
