Wide Wanderings

One of my new lenses is the Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens. I haven't used it a great deal but I know that I love it. I don't think I will ever go back to using my 18-200mm unless I need the zoom! You can just get so much more in the picture!

This year I am also going to be working on my composition - trying to take attractive and interesting photos. So far, this has been fun with the wide angle - I particularly love getting so much sky. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because it creates a sense of an expanse.

I went down to Cleaverville beach for an experiment on the Australia Day holiday. There wasn't too much there for the wide angle unfortunately, but I thought I would share some with you so you can see what I mean.

Canon EOS 50D f/4.5 1/1250 ISO 100 22mm. I know, it's just another desert pea. But I like this shot because almost the whole plant is in focus, while the grass behind isn't. Yes I was on my belly for this shot.
