Downtown with a 10mm ‘fisheye’ lens.<\/p>\n\n\n

A lot of ‘street’ photography is about people and their problems, but to me, people are usually a small part of the actual scene and often the least interesting element. I want the Big Picture. And that’s what a fisheye lens delivers: everything happening in the moment, from earth to sky. Among the downtown skyscrapers it adds a great sense of scale. <\/p>\n\n\n

A fisheye lets me get people in the frame, while seeming to point the camera elsewhere. No one realizes they’re in the shot, and I go unnoticed – just a dumb tourist taking pictures of tall buildings. Distortion? I love it, give me more – the city in my mind isn’t “real”, it’s in a sci-fi novel.<\/p>\n\n\n

My concept includes sky, so I wait for interesting clouds – or come back another day. But sometimes a bit of sun bounces off the glass and steel and hits an older brick building across the street…<\/p>\n\n\n

Or, maybe I just stand on a corner and point it straight up…<\/p>\n\n\n
