Wide Angle Close-up Photography Techniques
We’re at the Masky Dunes, just little bit north and east of Stoke Pike. Found this really cool small little area that has a dead branch in the background, and then we have a nice little bit of sand and a swirl up here in the foreground. And I’ve used 11 to 18 lens at 11 millimeters with a polarizer in it. So I’m really making the foreground look big and that little branch back there looks like it’s a mile away. And the sun, even though it’s about 8:30, still, fairly low in the sky, so we’re getting some really good direction to the light, and this is just pristine, the wind just blown out here just recently, and there’s some really nice color, it’s just awesome. Using the camera on the tripod, obviously, mirror lock up, you just hit the mirror lock up, and I can fire the shutter without risking moving the, moving the camera at all. So let me just do that one more time, there’s the mirror lock up, and then use the shutter fire. For like half a second with F22 with the polarizer, so plenty of depth to fill.
