Wide-angle lenses
Include more of a scene in your photographs with this lens
that packs in more, while opening up creative paths
Quick tip
It may be tempting to use an
extra wide-angle lens to shoot
groups of people, especially if
space is limited. But go too wide
and you can end up with loads
of distortion, making the people
close to the camera appear
larger than those in the
background.he widest setting on most standard kit
zooms (eg Canon EF-S 18-55mm)
offers a reasonable wide-angle option,
but how can a 10-20mm ultra wide-
angle lens affect your pictures? At its
simplest, a really wide-angle lens enables you
to include more of the scene in your image.But using a wide-angle lens successfully isn’t
just about including the whole scene.
Shooting at the widest focal length, for
instance, can easily make everything in the
scene appear tiny in shot, so you need to use
a few compositional tricks to maximize the
impact of your images.t Adam Burton
