Chance of me stepping foot outside in the wind and rain today is currently hovering around the zero mark so I thought I'd have a hunt back through some old photos from four years ago and play around with them.
This is a shot on the streets of Hong Kong, taken with my 350D, and it was the first morning using a wide angle lens (Tamron f/4 12-24mm purchased in the market at midnight the night before) so I was enjoying the fun of getting close, shooting from the hip, and still getting loads of features in the picture. I hadn't quite mastered the art of holding my camera level at this point and, to be fair, I still haven't. When I originally uploaded this many years ago I'd cropped out the girl on the right. I'll bet I had a reason for that then but I've no idea what it was.

Nice capture! Yeah, tons of fun shooting really wide on street. Hope you'll shoot more. :)) Reason to crop that girl? Perhaps your wife didn't like her. 😀

Sometimes holding a camera at an angle than implies a drunken state works. Nice image
