I'm partial to telephoto lenses; I like the ease of picking out a subject, and while I'm spending more time in smaller apertures of late, the joy of blurring the background with a telephoto and a large aperture can be intoxicating.
BUT ... not this week. The opposite — wide angle — has always been out of my comfort zone. Much harder to curate the scene, much harder to watch the edges, much harder to keep parallel lines parallel, much harder to see how the smaller parts fit into the whole. So, if you're like me, let's take a break from the good stuff and get out of our comfort zone.
Meaning: this week's theme is "wide angle." Rack that zoom to the 24mm end; get the wide angle lens out of the bag, punch the 0.5x button on the Photos.app. Got a killer fish-eye shot? Time to post it.
And if wide angle shots are your jam, enjoy!
As always, standard rules apply:

As always, standard rules apply:
- The photographs must be your own work.
- You may only submit one photo per contest.
- No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
- This contest runs for about a week, starting now.
- At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
- The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
- Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
