Celebrating excellence in the field of local newspaper photography
Oxford Mail: Furious traders demand pavement is relaid
I used to do a blog called "Done a Poo". It's still out there if you care to look. This would, I am sad to say, be ideal content.

Local news photographers are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and get sent to photograph miserable people gurning at uncooked meat products. Here, we celebrate their work.

It would still be being updated if only you'd add me back onto the authorship list after my little... wobbly there. I ought to dig out the missing images and fix them.
I would invite you back in, but for some reason I don't have admin rights...
That's foreshortening taken to extremes.
Maybe local newspaper photographers have a private competition as to who can make a random object in the foreground appear the largest relative to the people in the background. Do you think they screw a fish eye lens in front of a fish eye lens and then hold the camera three inches from the object with the people standing ten yards away?
So nil points for 'angry crossed arms', 'pointing' and 'tilted camera' but doubleplus points for foreshortening.
But even with the camera tricks the pavement looks pretty smooth to me!
