- A wide angle lens shouldn't be used like a "normal" lens. It is important to understand the different compositional architectures and how to use the strengths of a wide angle lens to your advantage. In this video I show you how to master your wide angle lens.

To really understand wide angle lenses is to do astro Milky Way on a beach with driftwood that is way taller than you and you are able to get real close with a little room above for the milky way to fit above the driftwood. The MW will appear small as it stretches across the sky from right to left of the path in the sky, a reason MW photographers want the widest of wide. But unlike a panorama where you get a rainbow effect with the subjects below and under the bow. Wide without the rainbow effect is it also gives the effect of a multilevel pano when shot level say at the top of a canyon wall where you get the view of water far below and mountains to the horizon and stopping clouds above in one image vs doing a multilevel panorama while standing at the edge of a cliff then working the blend of the moving clouds in post.
Thanks for this video. I'm not used to Ultra Wide Angle but I was assigned on a photography course a few years ago to learn how to use those lenses. If I understand it correctly, these are used to get a sharp foreground, but the problem is that the background will be diminished. And that there may be problems with the sharpness in the middle and background, which may require focus stacking. To get a more interesting background, you can use the Focal-Length Blending for Landscape technique where you use a normal wide angle lens to photograph the background and an ultra wide lens for the foreground.
Thank you for this video. A lot of videos I’ve seen regarding wide angle lenses almost seemed discouraging and yours was the first I’ve seen that has made me want to go out and shoot.
What an interesting video you have created, Christian. You really made me rethink how I use my wide angle lens. Thanks.
I enjoyed this video. Christian provides excellent insights into wide angle photography. I've used wide angle lenses for years and Christian has helped me to put words to concepts that I did not know how to articulate.
Interesting video! Wide angle is a bit of a weak spot for me. I always think that the environment in the netherlands isn't the best for wideangle shots. But I promised myself I would try to commit to it more in 2023. So far some decent results but it has to get even better. This video deffinitly helped with that thnx. Grt guido
Love the comparison shots showing images taken at ground level vs standing up and tilting the lens down to capture mid-ground. Great instruction to master wide-angle photography.
Tnx, the main thing I struggle with when using a wide angle lens is that the mountain or whatever in the distance looks less epic/smaller than the foreground elements. So I'm unsure if this means I should opt instead for a less wide lens or if there is some other solution to be found or technique to be used. As placing the mountain at the edge is not always compositionally desirable.
Is a wide tillt shift lens better for landscape than a wider lens?
Great points on this one my friend !! The wide angle lens rarely comes off my camera but when it does it does :-)
