Franey & Wide Angle Lens
Recently, I hiked Franey trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park on a nice summer day with a breeze. I met a graduate student, doing her Masters in Biology from St. John, NB and a chap with FAA in Boston, Mass while on top of Franey taking pictures with a 10-20 mm Sigma wide angle lens…
Franey is a great place to take wide angle and panorma shots with its incredible view of North & South Bay along with Middle Head, Cape Smokey and the Clyburn Valley.
I have been learning how to shoot pics with a wide angle lens. Taking photos with this lens is certainly a difference experience when I am so used to a zoom lens. Wide angle lens is about depth of field and getting the foreground with the background in focus. Well I am getting better with practice but still have a long way to go to be in the same league with Wally Hayes, NS Tourism Photographer.
Wally Hayes will be here at the 2009 Hike the Highlands Festival in September doing two workshops on Outdoor Nature Photography as well an evening presentation on Digital Photography. I hope to get some tips from him on wide angle lens.
Below are some photos I took on top of Franey. Franey is one of the 24 Guided Hikes during the 2009 Hike the Highlands Festival.
