May 2002, Hologon View.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always fun to play with a new piece of equipment. I\u2019d just bought a 16mm flat field Hologon super wide angle lens for my Contax G2<\/a> and I used this to make some dramatic photos inside Washington Union.<\/p>\n

\"Washington<\/a>
Washington D.C. Union Station as it appeared to me in May 2002. Exposed on Fujichrome slide film using a Contax G2 Rangefinder with 16mm Hologon lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This lens is specially corrected to eliminate barrel distortion (commonly associated with super wide lens design) but it must be kept completely level to avoid perspective convergence to vertical lines in the image. A bubble-level is provided in the clip-on viewfinder to aid with the leveling process.<\/p>\n

For this image, rather than make any effort to keep the camera level, I happily embraced the effect of perspective convergence to make for a dramatic image of Washington Union\u2019s magnificent barrel-vault ceiling.<\/p>\n
