[Leica] Teaching an old dog new tricks: learning to shoot ultra-wide

[CartersXRd]

I think we tend to see them as having more width, but I find it helpful to think of them having more foreground

they let you drop a background to less importance or include more background

clear as mud right?

i find the ultrawide’s ability to use depth for emphasis MUCH more important than it’s increased coverage (unless, of course, my back is against the wall)
