Wide angle landscapes

[William Lewis]

Still trying to learn to use my Voigtlander 21/4 as it's the widest I've used. Not that wide to some, I'm sure, but it's quite different from the 28's I've used in the past.

Those are nice images. That lens/camera is rendering some beautiful blues.

I’m curious, did you add in vignette or does the lens just have that strong of one?

The key composition guideline with wide lenses, esp on landscape shots, is to have something dominant in the foreground. For example:

Thank you. The vignetting is from the lens. It's part of what I need to get used to.

Good tip and an excellent example. Thanks!

If Fisheye images aren't wide enough I do also have a birdseye adapter giving a full 360° FOV:

Distortion at the edge is pretty bad, but I think I got away with it on this effort:

I noticed one photo I took long time ago was on the wall at my parents place in a frame, quite cool
