And no, it’s no coincidence they’re all from the same photographer. It took me a while to find that one in a car and I found some others along the way…
Wow, those are really awesome! Great finds!
Thanks for the mention, Brian! Awesome wide angle link. Lisa has a nasty habit of taking my portrait with a wide angle lens for kicks. Must show her that one.
The link roundup is of good quality, a joy to follow. Thank you!
