Presentation of wide angle experimentation - cropping

An idea about presentation of the wide-angle shots is that they could be cropped as seen below. This would focus the viewer's attention on the alleyway and it's entrance. The cropping doesn't necessarily work with these dimensions as I think the cropping at the top is not as good as it could.

Wide angle lens experimentation - alleyways [Sigma 10-20mm]

Current subject matter focus (for the previously architectural photography project) on alleyways. A Sigma 10-20mm was hired for the two shoots (one in Leicester [first two photographs], one in Market Harborough [second two]). The lens was focused on the corner of the building to the left (when looking into the alleyway) so that the surroundings were warped and skewed (as a result of the curvature of the lens) into directing the viewer's eyes to the alleyway.

The overall concept of this project is to highlight the prevalence of such pedestrian routes/shortcuts/alleyways, and how they can often be passed unnoticed by focusing on them so that the viewing does notice them.

Nick Clegg's visit to Oadby & Wigston Recycling Depot

Today, Nick Clegg visited the Oadby & Wigston Recycling Depot after it won a bid for £1.5 million as part of a £250 million fund, entitled ‘the Weekly Collection Support Scheme’ (WCSS).

After Mr. Clegg was 10 minutes late, the visit only takes 15 minutes as it was a short visit before a business Q&A elsewhere.

There were the usual elements: Props being shown, the workplace being observed, and posed shots including group shots.
