Inner Harbor East













As a program night with the Baltimore Camera Club, I organized a wide angle shoot. I specified for the participants that all shots taken on this shoot must be shot with a 35mm equivalent focal lenght or wider (fisheye, ultra-wides). We arrived at pier 4 at the National Aquarium at 7 pm and shot till a half hour past sunset. It was a bit fustrating to pass by images that you could see would have been great for isolation of the telephoto lens but it was fun as well. The fun part was the surprising "fun" look of the wide lens with great distortion and great depth of field. My images were shot with my Canon 5D with two lenses, the Canon EF 16-35mm and Sigma 15mm fisheye. Images were processed with Photomatix and an occasional bit of Viveza to bring out detail.
