A few weeks back I went to see the movie documentary
‘Senna’. Ayrton Senna was a Formula 1
racing legend, and I followed his championship exploits closely in my
teens. Senna died in a crash in 1994
while leading the Italian Grand Prix.
It was journey back in time, and many of the clips in the movie I
distinctly remember when they happened.
As we were going up to the theatre entrance, this rooftop
dome caught my eye. The lens I had on
the NEX, the Voigtlander 35mm Nokton, was not at all wide enough to shoot the entire
dome, so I selected part of it to create a composition pleasing to the
eye. This was more difficult than it
looked as I was ascending on an escalator at the time, so focal distance was
constantly changing – very difficult with a manual focus lens in a dark
environment, especially where maximum or almost maximum aperture is needed.
