Let your lens reshape you

Let your lens reshape you

A lot has changed in the digital photography world over the last 15 years. At this point, we're so used to shooting digitally, we may pay lip service to the days of film and understand that it's there. But it's easy to take for granted just what has changed and how quickly. I've assembled here some images that I think were impossible to shoot Some of them even just ten years ago. Now, there's reason I've done and we'll, we'll get to that, but first I think this is just an interesting little exercise to look at some impossible photos. Photos that I could not have taken 10 in some cases 15 years ago. First of all, there are changes that have come about because of lenses. Now, it's not that I could not have shot an image this wide 10 or 15 years ago But it's much easier now to shoot a high quality image this wide. Optics have improved so dramatically that extremely wide angle lenses are much higher quality than they used to be. They're cheaper, you can get them in more form factors…
