It can be fun to walk around with a photographer's eye with an ultra wide lens on the camera. It forces you to think differently. I took this picture of a store front in Chefchaouen, Morocco with a 14mm lens, and I love the distortion the lens creates. The key to using a wide angle lens is to get very close to the subject because that dramatizes the foreground and makes it disproportionately large compared to the background. I use this same technique with other subjects, too, especially landscapes and architecture. In this case, the bright colors add to the visual impact. I hand held this image, and the aperture was f/10 to make sure the edges of the frame were sharp.
