Tips for Shooting Extremely Wide Angles (II)



GO VERTICAL
Shooting in a portrait orientation with a wide angle lens can produce wonderful images, even landscapes (which are more commonly shot using landscape orientation). Going vertical allows you to pack a lot of information into the frame, basically from your feet to way up in the sky.

SHOOT FOR THE SKY
If you have some nice cloud formations, don’t forget to point that lens up at the sky. The wide angle can pull in a huge portion of the sky and make for a great scene.

    Hmmm... I wonder how people could make those stuff for wallpapers you know? I mean, it's horizontal, but they might use high resolution pictures.

    These are pretty awesome indeed.

    My brother is actually quite the photographer. I will let him know of some of these techniques.

    What amazes me mostly is how much information you can pack into these pictures.

    If you had a monitor that was vertically oriented, they would make some awesome backgrounds....
