A superwideangle focal length of 14mm allows me to stand very close to these slabs in order to stress the detail upon and the delicate play of the sunset on the stone. Yet the slabs are quite large in scale, and only a superwideangle perspective can allow us to move in tightly yet still include the surrounding trees and distant green grass for context. The extreme wideangle lens also has tremendous depth of focus – everything remains sharp, from just below the lens all the way to the horizon. The tombs hold the bodies of those who once lived in this massive 17th century castle.
