Diverging convergence
A couple months ago a new pinhole was added to my family, a Reality So Subtle 6x6. I have posted images of it before and talked about it before but I haven't really mentioned that I love how wide it is. I have a Zero Image 2000 as well and have always enjoyed its wide angle perspective. Extreme wide angle can pair up so well with infinite depth of field. The Zero is about 40mm deep, so it has a focal length of about 40mm. Figure that is equivalent to about a 20mm lens on an FX digital body or on a 35mm film body. Well, the Reality So Subtle is skinnier than that. It has a focal length of just about 30mm, giving it the rough equivalency of a 15mm lens on full frame. That is fun stuff. It means you can tilt a camera like that and introduce all sorts of distortion. Tilt cameras up and verticals converge, tilt them down and verticals diverge and the wider the focal length the more fun the effect. So atop this parking garage, surrounded by all these wonderful lines and geometry I figured I would put this camera to use.
