I would have thought that the 14mm would be too wide a lot of the time, but I guess I still have a lot to learn.

Nice pics and thanks for changing my perspective

Thanks for the feedback, knowing what these shows were like it was a choice on the day between my 14mm (A new addition) and the 35mm - I didn't want to carry both lenses as it is an extremely tiring day out due to the huge crowds and constant shuffle walking pace.

The 14mm turned out to be just right in most cases, as freedom to take the shot you want isn't often available the ability to just quickly crouch and get a nice wide shot in proved perfect.

Little cropping was done in post too.

(I took the 35mm to this show last year and whilst I got some nice detail crops it was far too tight to get any full car shots considering the crowd circulating, I was pleased to be able to do something different this year and think cars really suit wide angle too)
