Photo 150 "2022" - onsplekkie

After a first succesful annual 150 photo challenge in 2021, I'll be starting a new one in this year.

Again, three topics where I be posting a weekly shot. This year my three topics will be:

- street photography; In its wides sense possible. A thema I like and feel comfortable with. My challenge is that the picture has to be taken with a 35mm or smaller perspective & has to have people in them.

- ultra wide; Making more use of my 15 & 21mm lenses. I own them, but only 10% of all the images in my library are taken with wider perspective as 35mm. So the challenage really is just to get them off the shelf and find out more about when and how this perspective really shines.

- linear perspective; I want to learn more about this form of composing an image. Not sure how far I'll get through this learning curve, but I'll like to give it a go.

A very strong start to your challenge there @onsplekkie.

The horse riders give the beach scene a lot of extra interest, and the New Years celebration shot really benefits from your wide angle shot.

A nice selection of shots.

Have to say Pic 1 is my favourite. The 35/1.4 GM looks to be superb in your hands.

Pic 2 with the Loxia 21 is also a nice image, especially with the mist in the background.

You do have some very nice lenses in your lineup!

Lovely night pan, but I'm put off by the bulbous whatever in the third shot.

I'm liking those ultrawide aspect ratio shots! And the pan while the bike is at 45 deg and receding - very effective.

Actually, cap off (petje af) for this start.

I agree the panning shot (#1 this week) is very nice. The light reflecting on the slightly damp or wet street adds to the mood.

I think the third would also benefit from a letterbox crop (2:1) to remove some of the bulb without destroying the lines of the building (b.t.w. is that the former palace of Anna Paulowna in The Hague?)
