Who ever said that UWA lenses are only good for landscapes and wide scenes?This is a shot at the museum, really quite close to the frame exhibited, which is a modern photographic comment on that room's display of ancient books and manuscripts :(ZD7-14 set at 7mm, 1/25sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)And another, again playing around a bit with shapes and geometries that were probably not the exhibition builders' main objective :(ZD7-14 set at 10mm, 1/10sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)

I love my 7-14 for indoor shots. We see it all, why not our photographsI love the level indicator with that lens too. Makes it easy.Nice shots!

Interesting and original compositions, Roel. I am just starting to learn how to use this lens. -- erichK saskatoon, canadaPhotography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.W.

I am used to using my focus point indicators as level, when needed. But I am a sucker for tilted shots.Nice shots!

Nice pictures...yes...the lens is useful in museums and inside rooms where the photographer wants more of the scene to be seen.

Roel, I find the first the most compelling, it looks that the reflection of the showcase with the old books makes it in a way exciting. The second has someting I can't lay my finger on, there is someting strange to my feeling. I guess it's the first painting who doesn't compare in any way to the perspectives in relation to the others, it looks if it is warped away.Regards Lou-RoelHendrickxwrote:Who ever said that UWA lenses are only good for landscapes and wide scenes?This is a shot at the museum, really quite close to the frame exhibited, which is a modern photographic comment on that room's display of ancient books and manuscripts :(ZD7-14 set at 7mm, 1/25sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)And another, again playing around a bit with shapes and geometries that were probably not the exhibition builders' main objective :(ZD7-14 set at 10mm, 1/10sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)

I guess it's the first painting who doesn't compare in any way to the perspectives in relation to the others, it looks if it is warped away.You are totally correct about that estraging distortion. This is related to the fact that I was not aiming for the late-medieval paintings, but for the shape on the floor. The first painting thus became situated so close and high in my frame, that it is thrown totally out of perspective. Unacceptable for a serious shot, but fine for what I was doing.Thanks for looking hard and deep.Regards Lou-RoelHendrickxwrote:Who ever said that UWA lenses are only good for landscapes and wide scenes?This is a shot at the museum, really quite close to the frame exhibited, which is a modern photographic comment on that room's display of ancient books and manuscripts :(ZD7-14 set at 7mm, 1/25sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)And another, again playing around a bit with shapes and geometries that were probably not the exhibition builders' main objective :(ZD7-14 set at 10mm, 1/10sec handheld at F4.0 and ISO 1000 on Oly E-5)

one you were working with or is that what was being exhibited in that frame (a near naked man with an open book).

On the first picture with the reflection and the frame of the picture on the wall rendered like a cube and your shadow enclosed in it. -- Nam -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=E-1 • E-3 • E-330 • E-510 • ZD 7-14 • 35 • 50 • 12-60 • 50-200 • EC-20 • EX-25 • FL-50
