[Leica] IMG: architecture - question about cropping

[Philippe]

the crop = no way - such a view would require a longer lens and shooting from much farther away from the building.

Now, the original : I like it but I’d have given the building some roots, read that I’d like to see at least some of the ground it is anchored on, not much, but just enough for it to stand on ...

I’m currently perusing 15 odd years of digital takes of mine and have come to the conclusion that we never shoot wide enough, at least I do.


OTT the rendition is very good, so if you have another opportunity for a retake, I’d be interesting in viewing it :-)
