Week 17:  Creative Use of a Specialty Lens

This week’s challenge is to use a specialty lens in a non-traditional way. In this image, I made a wide-angle close-up of my son’s menagerie.

Week 16:  Portrait

This week’s challenge is to take a portrait using a “non-traditional” portrait lens. In this case, I used a wide angle to capture the full scene at the art bar.

Week 15: Exclusion

This week’s goal is to focus narrowly on a subject, filling the frame and excluding much of the environment.  Similarly, B. focuses narrowly on his “raft,” navigating his little friends safely through the rough waters of black-eyed peas.

Week 14: Inclusion

For this week’s compositional exercise, we explore theme of inclusion — often using a wide angle lens to include much carefully considered content within the frame. I took this photo with the widest angle lens I’ve ever used: a rented 16-35mm, cranked to its widest.  This super wide angle allowed me to include the full 360 aquarium in my image.
