Surrealist Photography

These are only surreal because of the focusing method, free lens. The Ice Fishing Houses and Pay Phone to me are good subjects because they are kind of gritty and roughed up. The ice shows the path of focus with its deteriorating ice patterns. I haven't found free lens photos on the internet that I like so I decided to trash the trash and see what results. Too bad the first image doesn't have space btw the tree line and house, but I chose for the colors.

The sensor is protected by a 1.4X extender on the body.

The dark corners help make this successful!
