Love screwing around with ultra-wides. No, actually this is how I really look

Chad, this is why you should never use a wide angle for portraits! It can accentuate ...

It brought a smile to my face too, especially if you knew my surname!

Thanks to Barbara, Larry, Tim and Pete. Appreciate the comments.
Ended up with dozens of shots to choose from. And depending on position it's amazing how different the same expression/pose can look with the wide-angle effect. Thought this version to look the most characteristic of my feeling when trying this. A kinda goofy but sincere Jay Leno look.

Well done Chad. I like the UW lenses a lot too. They are really fun. Your lighting nicely accentuates the facial contours as well.

you also have the added distortion seeing through your glasses...fun shot. What kind of wide angle lens was used?

Thanks Mark and Travis for the comments.
And I used a Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6 for this shot. A great lens for DX cameras.

wow, the sigma must do better at close range than the Canon. Maybe time for an avatar change?
