52Frames.com challenge is Architecture
This week’s 52Frames.com challenge is Architecture with extra credit of using a wide-angle lens. What will you try for? Get it in by Sunday, February 11th, 2018!
https://52frames.com/challenge/weekly-photo-challenge/
This is an old photo by Lisa Shea – she has to take a new image this week. She doesn’t have a wide angle lens for her ‘real camera’ so she’s going to play with the one she got for her cellphone.
Here’s what she took for this week. It’s using a lens add-on for her cell phone – you can see it here – Cell Phone Lens Kit
Here is what the scene looks like without the add-on. Lisa is standing in the exact same location. You can see that the wide angle expanded it in all four directions, although it also made it fuzzier.
What are you submitting? Let us know!
