Extreme wide angle

This is 12th-century rock-cut church I photographed in Lalibela, Ethiopia. What is remarkable about this structure is that it wasn't constructed by assembling blocks of stone. Instead, the builders excavated the rock out of the ground and what you see is what's left. It is one massive piece of rock complete with large rooms, an entrance, and many religious icons. To show the environment in which this church was made and to provide a sense of depth, I used a 14mm wide angle lens placed very close to the edge of the cliff. Note how extensive the depth of field is, even though the foreground was about 24 inches from the lens. This is the kind of extreme depth of field you can get from super wide angles. My settings were 1/500, f/11, and 2000 ISO.
