Twisted


Shooting with a wide angle lens can lead to all kinds of problems. In modern digital cameras, the geometric distortions are usually corrected automatically, but when shooting on film, you get to see your lens's faults recorded for posterity, so to speak, along with the subject of your photograph. Of course, you can correct your scans a little bit if you are so inclined. In this case, too, the ravages of time have contributed to some of the sag.

Tasting notes: Leica R8, 35mm Summicron; Ektar 100, summer.
