The wide angle lens is perhaps my most neglected glass so far. Frankly, I've never really found a good reason to use it to get everything into a shot. In fact, that turned out to be one of the worst ever ideas I've had since everything basically got clumped into an amorphous blob that made little sense and had virtually no holding power.
And then I rediscovered the principle of getting closer. Most of the time, that's something I would only do with a macro lens. However, experimenting with that on a wide produced rather good results. In fact, the principle applied pretty well since getting close to a large building was very much similar to doing so with a smaller object with a macro lens.
After which, I also rediscovered the use of a polarizer, which significantly added to the vibrancy of the colors in the shots. The polarizer is probably one of the filters that has an effect which is quite impossible to replicate reliably in post processing. Anyhoo...this is a reminder to think globally, and experiment moar. MOAR!
