Here's an ultra wide angle shot..so wide & distorted that i feel like its going to pop your eyes with disgust haha!

The Beauty of Destruction

The Beauty of Destruction

I drove 120 miles round trip from where I'm working just to make it to a lake where the water is drastically low, and most of the forrest around it has been clear cut.



Needless to say, I think it was worth the trip. I'm probably going to post a lot of photos from this 30 minute shoot. I just couldn't stop myself.



I haven't done it in a while, but Here is a larger version of this shot only because I want to see it tomorrow at work, to the guys who I saw this spot as we went wizzing by.
