Wide angles

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been experimenting with the wide end of my zoom lens recently. When I'm walking around talking photos I use a 50mm-equivalent lens most of the time, switching to the zoom when I need a longer focal length, but I haven't really been using the wider angles much until now. Lately I'm trying out shooting at 18mm, with three separate aims in mind: capturing converging lines, getting a greater feeling of perspective, and increasing the size and impact of foreground objects relative to the background. With lots of tall buildings in New York, converging lines are the easiest!
