Astonishing shot. Really calmed composition. Love the peace from this image. Thanks for sharing!

I have posted BW version of the photographs before - now I got a better scan and managed to save the underexposed parts of the image.

Thank you, Austin

You know, it's very easy to use ultra wide angle lenses, I think many people get intimidated by those lens with no reason at all. I use it for everything, except portrait.

i think they are challenging because it is hard to exclude elements from the image composition using wide angles. some people think they are easy because it is easy to include elements in the image composition using wide angles.

I agree with this. Wide-angle photography has always proven to be difficult for me. I just can't isolate my subjects in the way I would like; the images end up being far too busy for my taste. Nana's seascapes are wonderful examples of wide-angle used to great effect where everything from the foreground to the horizon IS the subject, and his images are amazingly uncluttered considering how wide 47mm is on 4x5.

I know what you are talking about. I have always used wide angles for getting in close to my subject. All my landscapes shot with wide angles either look too busy or contrived.

I agree that Nana does do an amazing job with a 47mm.

Nana - There really are no words strong enough to quite describe the consistant flow of truly breathtaking work from you... You're shots with the 47XL are magnificent, so engrossing. I'd love to walk through an exhibition of your images printed large...
