In case the challenge was to take a photo OF your widest lens, I covered all the bases. One thing I did learn: the mirror I used is super dirty! Samyang 14mm. Ironically I spent the last three days shooting sports with a 400mm and 640mm. Wow, what a change. It is really hard to appreciate how wide this is. The front of the camera is less than 4 inches from the mirror.

11MM isn't took kind to a snouted girl, but Miss Riley doesn't mind.
What's that- a wide angle lens? GREAT!
You want to stick that in my face? GREAT!
I don't know what you're doing, but you're my best friend. You're GREAT!

11MM

If that is on a full frame the lens must be about three inches from your dog! You're lucky that shot wasn't a little "fogged" up.

Great shot. Makes me wish I'd taken advantage more of your clear night skies during my numerous business trips to OK over the past 15 years. @SquarePeg has lighthouses and you have oil wells.
