curiously, Barrie, the photographer in my image was trying (but unable) to reproduce a photograph which we think must have been originally taken (over 50 years ago) using a method similar to that employed in your latter photo
It's often a challenge to find the original viewpoint for an old image, mostly these days either because the vegetation has grown up or some "idiot" has built something in the way, perhaps the reverse with your photographer, something has been cut down or demolished, or the original photographer had a large step ladder with him
My man had a full frame DSLR with a fisheye or very wide angle lens and a wireless release, very 21st century technology to photograph a 20th century steam engine.
I try not to get too hung up "the bokehs", but there's some very cool stuff going on in that shot Phoenix. I think it would look pretty sweet printed large.
and.......I was aware of this guy for about 10 minutes. Everywhere I was, he was in the corner of my eye looking for a shot. I hurried along this street, pretended to drop something....turned around bent over, then shot up and BLAM, The Canon 6D got him perrfick! He was just about to shoot, but I got him fust!
