For tonight's film I am experimenting with different camera views. We start by driving from St George Beach Chloraka to Kato Paphos. Then I do a loop around Bar Street and Poseidonos Avenue. This is all shot in wide angle mode. After that I switch to Supawide mode and do the loop again. I finish with a loop on regular mode which you are all used to.
Sorry the film ends so abruptly, for some reason it missed off the last minute. It doesn't affect the experiment though.
I would be grateful for any opinions as to the different modes.

Re: Chloraka to Kato Paphos Experiment
The regular lens is ok - The wide angle is better with only slight distortion which you can live with - The supawide is too much - It bends the buildings trees lamposts etc - I would say wide angle covers it

Re: Chloraka to Kato Paphos Experiment
In my opinion the wide angle is much more interesting when you watch that kind of films, specially when you explain what is on the left or right hand side which one can't see sometimes in regular mode....but then it is your business if you prefer regular lens to wide angle....

I'm happy to continue with the wide angle. It isn't as bad as supawide and so far everybody has preferred it.

Wide angle works best for me Dominic.
I started off with nothing and have most of it left !
