Staying in one spot and just waiting sometimes yields shots like this, where I have two people near and far both using/looking at their phones at the same time and because of the distance between them, they almost seem to be in different compositions. Certainly not an award-winning shot by any means, but I like what happened here.
Definitely a cool effect. Agreed the distance helps, but that sign in the middle really nicely divides the image into frames too! Reminds me of half-frame cameras, like the Demi EE17. (I also like the squares within squares on the right "frame.")
