Each day when I go out of the house I throw a single lens on my M11 and will use that FL to shoot whatever I run into that day. This has recently ended up in my primarily shooting my 35mm Lux, or my 50mm Cron. Today I decided to put on my VM 21mm Color-Skopar. I wanted to not get too comfortable, and practice see and shooting in other focal lengths. I was surprised by how much different shooting this wide is. I enjoyed the challenge.
Below is one of today's images processed in both color and monochrome. I really can't decide which way I prefer this image. Obviously the vibrant colors of the boards and the environment work very well in this image. But, there is something expressive in the monochrome as well. In the color version the surfboards dominate the image, In the monochrome the composition, and environment play much bigger roles.So, I am posting both versions.
