Distortion - but not as we know it, Jim

By dudler
Wide lens, close in, big building (which recently confused me a lot, in another member's portfolio). From a visit last Friday with Keith, aka Dark Lord.

There's a new ARTICLE about the importance of a considered low viewpoint. Please have a look - all comments welcome.

Ah, Cosford; thought I recognised it. Long overdue for a return visit. Fascinating image. 🙂

There's something about curvature of the universe that jumps to mind...

A wonderfully foreboding architectural image.

Thanks for sharing John

I hope those stairs aren't the way out!

It houses the exhibition of Cold War era aircraft - it's around a dozen years old.

I think the stairs are for maintenance. But I'm not sure. They may be for Nigel Farage to watch for the French invasion in his tricorn hat.

I like how the low pov and the wide angle lens have exaggerated the curves of the building.

It's an unusual building design without the aid of a wide angel lens Smile
Or perhaps there's a small black hole playing games with the quantum stuff...

Looks like an selective gravitation effect... cheers to Douglas Adams!
Could probably imagine to convert to mono with steep tone curve for increased effect of surreality...
Looks like your Samyang 14mm is also not the sharpest at the edges...
Overall - great impression and clever idea! Congrats and cheers!

You can buy the lens for under £200 secondhand - at that price, the edges don't have to be sharp! In fact, it's not that bad at all...

Gravitational distortion, that explains the supersize flapjacks in the cafe Smile
Hopefully I'll put my blog up in a day or two.
Mono mod to follow.
