Up or Down
Written by benjamin on January 18th, 2009As a photographer I’m perpetually torn between using my wide angle (16-35mm) lens and my wide to telephoto (28mm to 300mm) lens. I learnt my craft on the latter however the former revolutionised my way of seeing things. It was quite a mindshift to think about the additional width that the lens gives you and just how to take photos to fully take advantage of that.
I’m still honing that skill, but an image like this makes me want to never take it off of the camera. Of course, as soon as I think that, I see a situation and ultimately a photo that disagrees. Certainly, when I was first starting out, it sure was easier to have a fixed lens, because, then it didn’t matter.
Freedom is both a blessing and a curse. I’m not complaining, mind.
