Best cameras and lenses 2019

Into the Wide

Challenge #2 in the Jaysen dog-foods challenges series. Hosted by Jaysen Marais.

Challenge has finished

How creative can you get with the wide angle lens? Show us what you can do with lens sporting an effective focal length of 35mm or less. Remember to tell us what lens you've used (no fibbing) and on what body. Compact and SLR entries are welcome, but make sure the lens used has an acceptable focal length (check our Camera Database if you're not sure). Oh, and no borders! Good luck.

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

NO BORDERS: I will actively disqualify images with borders, even those with supposedly tasteful 1px borders. I don't even pretend to be rational about this, I just can't stand borders.
Please describe your image, especially the equipment (especially DIY equipment) you used to get the shot. Flash settings, home-made reflectors, whatever (this isn't a rule as such, just a polite request).
