Some fellow Northeast Ohio photographers and I went to a junkyard for a shoot last Sunday, here's one of my shots, taken with a 10.5mm fisheye.

    Oh, I love junkyards! My favorites in the gallery are #8 and #21. I wish we had better junkyards here. Desirable wrecks in California don't stay on the ground too long. But I digress. :D

    Yeah, not as exciting yards in SoCal.
    Looks like a fun day.

    Hi Ron,

    Nice shot. Do you have another shot where you crouched down a bit? I think this perspective woudl have worked as well as the car in the front would then have covered up the building in the back and may have even kept your shadow from creeping in the frame.

    Looks like an interesting place to shoot with a fisheye or WA...

    Cheers.
    :D

    This is an awesome shot. I would like to see another one with out the top of the building above the cars. I would try to get lower if possible. Another angle you can try is to include the whole building by getting up higher and kind of look down at it all. Maybe use a ladder or some thing. Anyways those are just some thoughts. However, it is a nice shot and you do have a scene there. Let's see some more.

    Thanks for the comments Mikko here's a few more. I was using a 10.5mm fisheye for a lot of the shots.
