I love your 348 Spider Jas. What are those rims? Look very nice.
Is it just me, or do pictures taken with a wide angle lens look wrong? I'm sure all the "arty" snappers are going to char grill me for saying that.

Thanks smile

Hamann 18" performance wheels (OZ Racing) fitted with Pirelli P zero Rossa tyres.

Specs are:
Front: 235/40zr18, 9.5J x 18 wheel
Rear: 285/35r/18, 11.5J x 18 wheel


Yes the lens I used does distort the cars, but only because of the way I took the pictures ie. very close to the cars. This was a deliberate decision as I was trying for an arty look with maximum "impact" with both the shot and processing, as opposed to aiming for realism.

There's no right or wrong answer though, and sometimes I take "realistic" images of cars too. Here I was trying for "artistic impact". Whether I achieved it or not is another question though biggrin



Sy, I used the Canon EF-S 10-22 lens smile Same one as you saw me using at Brighton Marina.
