Floating on Glass


Here's the thing about wide angle shots, they capture a lot of lanscape, landscape that you never intended to be in the shot. A tighter shot is needed which might guide us to use a telephoto lens but then you don't get the panoramic view that you want. What's the alternative? Welcome to the world of cropping. This picture had a lot of sky captured. And the vast expanse of the sky took the focus away from the main subject of the picture. It has been my experience that while taking wide angle shots don't worry too much about removing stuff from the frame while taking a shot. Concentrate on the subject matter and frame it to maximize the effect you are going for. Then come back to your editing software and crop the picture to remove the extra stuff and tighten the shot.
