Photo Challenge Week 23, 2025: Use the Wrong Lens

You have 7 days to make a great photo by using a lens (or focal length) that’s “wrong” for the job.

I chose the featured image for this challenge. Took a bunch of photos using a 24mm lens of RC cars going by. This should have been a 100 to 200mm lens and it was frustrating to use the “wide” lens. Guess that’s why its a challenge. I had to get really close to the action – i was laying down on the ground propped on one elbow like 5 foot or so hoping the guys didn’t run me over – and still had to crop the image to get a “good” shot. I almost used the below photos.
