a "mini-digital SWC" ... Leica CL + Voigtländer 10mm, cropped square

[MGrayson]

No square emulated SWC crops for more than 2 1/2 years, can't have that.

After posting the one below yesterday I remembered this thread but it took a little time finding it, I thought it was in the Hasselblad forum but finally found it in the Leica forum , and now I've even used the right camera to be posting in this subforum

So my next try:
Antwerp "Nieuw Zuid", a whole new developed area on the spot of a former large railroad shunting yard


M246M + MC W-Rokkor 17/4

Nice use of the WA distortion, as it shows up in only one place!

Yup, the street lamp looks a bit weird, The photo is also using the "poor man's shift", it's almost the top of a vertical oriented shot, I guess about a 5 mm shift up.

To me, the street lamp makes the picture. It gives a line complementing the walkway.

Fully agree, the street lamp as well as the shadow are important lines in the composition, only the lamp head at the top looks weirdly distorted due to the fact it's near the corner of the (shifted) frame.

I meant the diagonal line from the distorted head. That’s what I like best.

Another one (to be fair, the square crop to show it here was an afterthought when processing the image, not a deliberate framing at the time of taking the photo)

Opera Metro Station, Antwerp

Lovely to see you picking up the theme and resuscitating this old thread! And you're right: I haven't posted much on this theme in quite a while! I'll work on changing that...

Good stuf, but I love the photo of the escalators!

Another square afterthought, but also needed due to the extreme software perspective correction

The Antwerp Harbour House

I already knew that this photo was for this thread when I took it.
