About Subject background: Famous Mars Bar in East Village Manhattan, nailed down with my 14mm;-)

PS concept: A bit here & there. Wanted to keep something of the dirt of the place. Thought about showing just the building and deleting all the stuff around... but rejected the idea.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated

Hi Hugo,

the use of the 14mm is very limited if you hunt down the streets. so sometimes, I use the 18-35mm to get a better focus (if hardcore wide angle is not necessary) =)

Hi Mr. M,

actually, this building is not left. inside, you will find the mars bars, a typical NYC bar =) not sure about the surounding buildings though.

Hi Verena,

das ist das geile, aber auch fiese an 14mm. man kann schwer erkennen, ob ein motiv funktioniert... bis man durch das 14mm durchschaut. aber da schaust du nicht lange durch, ohne einen fön zu bekommen =)

gorgeous work Thilo...
this extreme wide angle and the composition are wonderful, and seem to compliment each other very well here. i wouldn't change a thing here by the way. considering your comments, i've been looking at this shot with the idea of cropping portions-i think you could crop this a number of ways and come up with well balanced images, but i like it best as is.
bravo!
todd

must.......get.....wide lens!

Fantastic angle Thilo! I think you did the right thing by rejecting that idea, this is wonderful as is!

Hi Peter,

no, this is not a fish-eye =)

a fish-eye normally delivers a 180 degrees angle, and this would turn the subject into a really weird thing. the 14mm delivers IMHO a reasonable angle so that the people on the borders don't look too strange.

take care,
thilo

I do not know why... but first the title and them the thumbnail, I new it was you Thilo... :)

Excellent composition... Do the extreme wide angel gives it a really weird and fascinating mars look... I have not read others opinions yet, but I love that you left the surroundings, it tells the story pretty well...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

A very striking photograph Thilo, the composition suggests this might not be the place you want to be in the hours of darkness !!

Fabulous effect from the 14mm lens.

I wonder if they do sell mars bars there lol

Best wishes,
Steve

das Drumherum sollte auf jeden Fall bleiben, stark was so ein Weitwinkel aus dem letzen Winkel holt...

Unmistakably yours....:) With the sigma 14 mm, why would you need a 17-35mm? I woul love to get my hands on the 10.5mm, though....:)

The wide angle is perfectly used here. Very strong atmosphere of a downtown hood....

Charles Bronson? Death Wish?

As to your consideration, I'm glad you rejected the idea of deleting everything around it. Instead, I think blurring the background a bit (more?) could work to the same effect...

Cheers,

Hugo

hi kev,

that's the reason why I do both - at least until the DSLRs with 1:1 ratio are affordable. ;-)

wow - there is nothing that approaches the coolness of superwide perspective - that is one reason I have found it hard to go the DSLR route..I'll breakdown soon - but would miss my wides...back to your image - I love it the perspective is, as you say, out of this world - well done - K
