RE: Walking around with my wide angle lens

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I've always been scared of wide angle lenses (the widest I've ever shot with is 24mm), but yivue blown me away (once again 🤣). I think I'll get myself a nice manual focus wide angle lens for my a7iii.

I have a question that's been eating away at me. What time of the day do you shoot? Your exposure, highlights and shadows are just perfectly balanced that I doubt it's midday/sunny day.

Thanks man. This lens is a 17mm, but its a bit different because its a tilt shift, so it allows me to control a lot of the distortion. As far as the time of day, this was actually around noon. The storm clouds offered some protection against blowing out the highlights, but I was shooting bracketed, which gave me three images and then I stacked them in Lightroom to get details in the highlights and shadows.

Ahaaaa, that explains quite a lot.
I wondered how you were able to get such straight edges on your buildings 😄.
I assume you use a tripod while shooting landscape then?

Great work as usual! I've learnt something new once again!

Ya, using a tripod with this lens is a must to try and keep the lines as straight as possible. I do some corrections in lightroom for that as well. But with the tilt shift, I don't have to correct as much.
