p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Ultra Wide Image Thread


There are a few A7 threads with wide and UWA shots, but they are a bit too specific IMO, I'd like this to cover anything wider than a FF equivalent of 22mm, fish eye and panos welcome as a contrast of results.
Since UWA is not mainstream, non alt combos are welcome, Canon 10-24L on Canon for example.
The goal is to provide inspiration and be a source for learning effective use of this challenging focal range, which is one of my favourites.
The only rule is: <22mm on FF, <15mm on APS-C, & <11 on M4/3, etc......(fisheye and pano exempt provided the FOV is wide enough with a pano).
EDIT: This rule isn't set in stone, slightly narrower focal lengths will be permitted if the image is compelling, and/or has that UWA feeling.

Some quick pointers:
-Leading lines help greatly.
-A main subject(Duh), a second and third at different distances.
-Be bold, try different POV's, I've had random shots result in interesting compositions.
-Balance, symmetry, rule of thirds, etc... (The usual suspects still apply).

To start this off.
A7r + CV15III

Fun idea for a thread. I often struggle compositionally with UWA I find. Looks good through the VF when I take the shot, but then when editing I never seem to know how to crop, and exactly what my subject matter really was.

Seeing some examples of how other people utilize the wider focal lengths should be a good learning tool for those of us who don't venture much wider than 35mm

Oh that's a good idea. Here are some from last summer with a monochrome theme - CV15 vI (1,2) and Leica 21/3.4 (3) on the A7.

Great idea for a thread.

Looking through my catalog, I really need to re-buy the Rokinon 7.5mm FE for m43 - what a fun lens. A few examples:







Children in Vicksburg Civil War memorial - which is round :)







Slide







Beach - cropped slightly from left







Vicksburg again - defished using Fisheye Hemi plugin







Pier - massive crop

Post what ya got, there will be no discrimination in this thread(I hope).
The only rule is: <22mm on FF, <15mm on APS-C, & <11 on M4/3.

Cool thread and love the shots so far. I'll play with the VM 15/4.5 III on A7s(1st shot) and A7r(2nd and 3rd shots):

Great thread - for me sort of a home run, since I am mostly shooting wide anyway.

Some more recent shots, all taken with A7R and CV 12/5.6 (one of my favorite lenses on the A7R!).
