Landscrapes


I've been working with a new wide-angle lens which means I can move in close on the subject and still include context.
Magnuson Park provides opportunities to shoot landscrapes, images of degraded nature in a city park. Construction is underway to destroy a wetland in order to create ballfields that drain into a constructed wetland. [Constructed wetlands have a 90% failure rate.]

That's a sad situation. Have you played around with the skewing, etc. tools to get rid of wide angle distortion on sides? I hope we review this (for my sake) in class. Wide angle lenses are so different - I want to know more.
