"Whether working or not, photographers are looking, seeing, and thinking about what they see, a habit that is both a pleasure and a problem, for we seldom capture in a single photograph the full expression of what we see and feel." - 365 Project, Day 145

Imagine that same group of photographers from yesterday.  Now, imagine changing things up a bit.  They all had the same camera with the same lens.  Now, give the landscape photographer a super-telephoto lens, like a 300mm f/4, and give the sports photographer an ultra-wide angle, like the 14-24mm, and give the street photographer a 10.5mm fisheye lens, or a tilt-shift lens.

These are not the usual lenses people shoot with, and what would the results be?  I know photographers aren't specialised, in that any photographer can probably good pictures of landscapes and people and the like, but would the photographers adapt their style to the lens or would they prefer adapting what they shoot to the lens?  Again, probably wouldn't be very practical to do, but I would enjoy the results.

Again, here be today's output.

His note: Nice day for a DQ... and it was good mmm.

Her note: Yay, my tomatoes are starting to grow!

I was trying for something different by having some kind of meaning behind my picture, but it's not really obvious that the building is for emergency services (and a paramedic station at that, not a fire station), so I'll call this an okay picture but a concept fail.

Tomorrow will be a very long day, I think.
