Ultra Wide

Challenge #5 in the Creative Constraints series. Hosted by Barry Twycross.

Challenge has finished

An ultra wide lens is one which has a focal length shorter than a typical wide angle lens (but not a fisheye). For the purpose of this challenge, I'm defining that as less than 66% the long side of your sensor. For a full frame camera, that would be 23mm or wider. (If you're confused by that, ask for you specific camera below). Find a picture in your archive, taken with an ultra wide lens.

Beautiful shot, but the water looks awfully sharp for a 26second exposure... is that a typo?

Looks more like 6 seconds and the lightning lit the water for a momentary freeze frame.
