I needed a break after doing some serious photography the last few weeks. Photography as therapy instead of as work. And so I headed to Swansea with my Nikon Z6ii and my new 7Artisans 14mm F/2.8 lens and decided to take the images I like to take, but in this super-wide focal length.
The weather was quite showery, but thankfully, for the brief couple of hours I was there, the rain held off and the sun came out! Perfect weather for the images that I really wanted to capture. Swansea is our closest city, and the second biggest city in Wales, and has some great places to photograph.
All images were edited from raw in Darktable. A full review of this lens will be coming in the next few days, however, as you can see, it is a bloody fantastic lens!


























I used a colour profile I usually use for my portrait shoots, and I think it suits todays mood pretty well. I have some ideas for more artistic versions of these images too, and I will probably have a go at those at a later date.
The majority of these images had no perspective correction, and the lens is zero-distortion, so no lens correction was applied, other than for lens vignetting.
I hope you enjoy these images, and comments are always welcome.

Beautiful series, Mark. I don’t quite get #12 though – is that building really that thin, or is it just a trick of perspective? Very unusual! For me, 14mm would work too – though that translates to 28mm on MFT or 21mm on Leica APS-C. Still, a really fun angle of view.

It is a very tall thin building, and it does look strange as I brought the perspective forward to straighten it up. Just left it in the as it is quite unusual! 🤣
