I dusted off my short lens to see if I could capture some new perspectives at my usual haunts. More shots to come. If you look off to the right of the trail in this image you’ll find the puddle from yesterday’s post. If you look even further in the distance you may be able to see the progress on the housing development at the top of the nature preserve.
Perspective

Cool perspective, Sandra. I like to shoot with a wide angle lens, too. I shot hundreds of them. And one day I recognized that an element created a boost to my liking. Shooting low, like you did. And having a foreground element. Looking forward to your compositions. Enjoy the wider view. Happy days and stay safe. Reinhold

Thank you Reinhold! I love your photography. This wider view is a nice change. I’m enjoying working with this lens that has been collecting dust until recently. You stay safe too and give Boomer a smile for me. 🐶

You must be loving the cooler days! Great shot! There’s nothing like a path meandering into the distance to take the eye onwards.

The words Housing Development and Nature Preserve are directly opposite each other to me. Must be nice to have the rain, Sandra!

😔 I agree John. I’m hoping the rain system spins in your direction soon! I’m telling the clouds to visit you and Wilson but they’re not listening. apparently they’re doing their own thing. ⛈😉🌦

Great idea to try different lenses to see what you get, This image draws me in to walk down that road.

Thank you Chris! If you’re ever out west I can show you the nature preserve. Bring your camera. Do you have a favorite lens that you use frequently?

That would be awesome. I have an 18-55 lens that I bought and use for 90% of my work. What’s your favorite?

That’s a useful range. That’s what I’m trying to get more experience with in these latest pictures. The one lens that I use most is my 50-250mm. Helps me reach feathered subjects that would otherwise fly away. 😆

I have a zoom but it’s not great quality. It’s more of a kit lens.
