Wrong Lens

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:44 pm

Just a quick thought. Next time you go to your favorite spot that you’ve been to before take the wrong lens or the wrong camera. About a year ago I went to Limekiln (my favorite close spot) with my step daughter. I had her use my 20d with the only wide angle lens I had at that point. I had my 35mm film slr and a 70-210mm lens to use. Because I wasn’t using my preferred setup I had to look at things differently. I was seeing the same landscape that I’ve seen many times before but with a new eye/restriction. I ended up with completely new compositions on some scenes that I’ve shot many times before. I saw shots in that area that I hadn’t seen before, which is tough with a total trail length of 1.5 miles in very narrow canyons. I was beginning to shoot the same thing the same way because I brought the same equipment and the same attitude. By changing the camera/lens I also brought a new attitude. Try it some time you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
