What's the Story?

Not entirely happy with this one, but it was an excuse to use the wide angled lens. I gave it a lomo-treatment in PP. (repost)

I like the wide angled, what is 'lomo-treatment'? Whatever it is, I like it!

Looks like each side is falling into the centre - the yellow streaks above the (Nike?) sign show that lomo treatment is in the pp - my guess, anyway (having got the concept, finally, Chris -thank you!!) and with fisheye. Can you reveal the type of camera you're using with film - plus lens type? I'd like an excuse to get out some of my old ones in the cupboard for another fiddle - just to join you!

@Sidonie: Thanks Sidonie, I'm using a Minolta XG-M with regular Fuji film. This shot was taken with a 72mm lens. It is totally different to shooting on digital!

interesting. It gives a feeling a little out of the reality....

I love the sense of motion you get with wide angles. very dynamic.

Thre is so much going on here - took a while for my eyes to take everything in. Love the light and colours and the fish-eye blur adds an element of intrigue. Appropriate title too. Nice work.
