This … object … is quite difficult to capture just how I think I would like to – particularly with the restrictions placed on me with the 35mm fixed focal length of the X100. I can't get close in and wide enough to give the head space around it but I also can't step further away without bringing elements of the surrounding scenery in.
So…here's another view and one that I *think* I prefer to the last one. But I'm going to have to go back and shoot this head again. Hopefully get more time to try different angles and compositions, etc. Today the rain didn't help me with that.
