I used the Nikkor 18-200mm here, so you are right, it's not wideangle. And I cropped slightly as well in Gimp. I did use my wideangle in one of the gardens I visited while on holiday (Great Dixter, have some photographs in a different thread (English gardens)), the 12mm. It is a bit of a challenge to find something nice in the foreground to shoot big and then have that nice background wideangle effect.
But here it didn't work for me really.
Now on wideangles: in this photograph I was able to use the wideangle to my advantage I think. This is a shot that I made in Fairlight. We drove past it and the view immediately appealed to me because of the big poles that you see in the foreground.
It is a pity that we didn't get a blue sky though, it would have been a better picture then I feel.
I should have paid more attention when map reading; I thought Hatfield was in Sussex and the University of Sussex was in Hatfield.
Brighton, a place I've passed many times when tramping in my lorry driving days, very mysterious area always hot.
The only thing missing in this photo is a Spitfire.
Thank you Antonio, glad you like it.
Will post more often if possible but the quality of the stuff here makes me hesitate sometimes.
