- In this week's video, I'm giving you 4 simple tips that will improve your WIDE ANGLE lens photography in no time!
The most powerful tool in my camera bag is probably a wide-angle lens, like the 16-35mm. Other than perhaps a drone, there’s, in my opinion, no other single piece of photographic equipment that can help YOU create more jaw-dropping photos and impactful compositions than a wide-angle lens. So if you haven’t tried going wide in your photography, you NEED to do these things with your WIDE ANGLE zoom lens!
I’ve just always loved to shoot very wide and try to get multiple elements into the frame and make unique photos full of storytelling. But I wasn’t always very good at it, and that’s why I wanted to make this video, where I will break down 4 things you need to know to get the most out of your wide-angle lens.
So without further ado, here are my do's and don'ts in wide-angle photography!

My name's Christian and I've created this channel to share helpful videos for content creators to help them be better travel and adventure photographers, and learn how to use the tools to make it happen.
I started this channel so I would have a place to express myself and share everything I've learned about making photography that resonates with people while sharing my passion for the true adventure. I am always inspired by visiting new places, and I find incredible happiness in being out in the natural world. So if you're into learning how to create more meaningful compositions, tell a story with your photos or better understand focal point and framing, you have to subscribe!
I'm currently based in Bali, Indonesia. I'm always down to connect and answer any questions, so feel free to reach out on social media. You can also reach me at

That was a tremendous amount of information. It was better than a lot of online courses. Thanks for sharing the info and the beautiful photos. 🥂
Aw, stoked to read this, mate - it really means a lot coming from you! I did plan this video for quite some time, so it's nice to hear that it has paid off. I just want to give all my tips to all of you out there:-) Thank you for watching (and I haven't forgotten your request to do a gear video soon!)💥
Christian Als No worries. I'll be watching this one again. Seeing photography from another point of view helps to broaden and inspire my creativity. 🥂
Great video you have placed some great insights into the use of wide angle lens! Love your photos and what they express!! Best wishes Anthony
Some wide-angle pics that I took came out distorted, hope these tips can improve them! Thanks for sharing :)
Yeah, you have to be very careful with lines, especially indoors - that can look terrible. That's a thing I could have addressed in this video. Thanks for the support and I hope you took away something here.
I know this is an old video but this changed my mind about selling my 16-35mm f2.8
Thanks for showing the all we can capture with a wide angle lens😀!
GREAT INFO! I've been using a DX 12-24mm lens on a fullframe Nikon D750, giving me a 18-35mm lens perspective and giving me me a whole new perspective! Thanks for this video...I
As usual a really clear, quality video with superb tips for photographers. Love the shots you show too.
Bump and Beyond by Vicky Warr Aw, that’s simply just amazing to hear, my dear! Thanks sooo much, I really appreciate ya support and glad you liked the shots in this one, too🙏🏻🔥
💥Using a wide-angle zoom lens gives you a lot of possibilities - which wide-angle lens do you own and why do you love to use it?
Incredible shots!! So dope!! You're tip about human scale was something I've never considered. Thank you, Christian! ❤
Dude these images are AMAZING! Great video!!
Kirsten Quist Whoa, amazing feedback!! Thanks a lot for your kind words on my photography and thank you for watching 🙏🏻🔥
wow!! Amazing photos!!! You are so good!
These pictures are great. Thanks for taking the time to explain
This is really amazing to read - thanks for the cool feedback, and for watching!
Great tips! Currently trying to learn more so this video was super helpful!
You're welcome! I hope you will take these tips along on your photography learning journey! Much more coming soon...
Such great content, your stuff beats a lot of hyped up channels out there
That’s simply just amazing to read this feedback!! Thanks a lot, mate! Promise to make more vids soon again! Motivation is coming back to me🔥🤘
So much. I use my 16mm for talking head videos... so nice that it can be used for Landscape photos. Beautiful shots.
This whole video was shot on a Sigma 16mm 1,4, so it's also a focal length I use a lot in filmmaking and CZcams... I really appreciate your feedback, mate!
Christian Als thats the lens I have!
@@matthewragudo Absolute KILLER of a lens for the price point!! Which camera do you use it on?
Christian Als m50.
Wide angle lens is my favorite! Gorgeous shots!!
Brilliant video and lots of great tips 👍
I know nothing about cameras or their lenses so thank you for this
Excellent video! I just met you through Sunny and YTFB - I also just picked up a CANON M50 so you have gained a new subscriber - looking forward to more content from you!
Good idea! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for watching, mate!
Really appreciate all the details on this video. I've been itching to get out there to use my sigma17-50mm for landscapes, also looking to get something wider even 10mm or 11mm.
Awesome photos and some great tips. I got some wide-angle lenses but always felt I haven't used them to their potential. This video helped a lot.
It's definitely 'easier' to use shorter focal lengths, like 24-70mmmm or a 70-200mm, as it is always easier to narrow things down, to simplify than it is to figure out which things to include in a BIG frame... I really appreciate your time watching and I hope you will take these tips with you on your onwards photography journey!
Nice vid thanks! Subbed.
Great works!
Thanks so much buddy!! I really appreciate your support!🙏🏻🔥
Many thanks for this interesting video! I have just a remark to the picture at 17:35. My wife likes it to show a person to get an image how large an object - in that case the waterfall - is. What is your opinion about this? Thx Peter
At timestamp 6:55 and the next photo after that, did you use long exposure? Is long exposure more frequently used with wide angle lenses?
