Take A Seat

I think its because its a half way house between a full telephoto and a normal focus lens being at 60mm equivalent focal length, so you are getting some compression between the different focal layers but because its at f8 its mostly staying in focus across the frame.

In reality its a very long room with a short narrow entrance that I would have preferred taking with my 50-150mm that I also had with me at about 90mm (135mm full frame) to compress it further but because people were queuing up to photograph the room it would have been impossible to stand far enough back to make the shot with that focal length and not have people pushing in.

Ideally I would like to have included the door frame in the shot to give it more visual context, especially as it was beautifully aged paneled oak, but again people would just push in front and block the shot.

The floor is a bit uneven, and the ceilings are too, its not as bad as some country houses I have been in by any means but its a long way from a modern structure in terms of plumb.

Rumbled, its where we keep our unlicensed beans
