Thank you, Austin

You know, it's very easy to use ultra wide angle lenses, I think many people get intimidated by those lens with no reason at all. I use it for everything, except portrait.

that's so nice.. thanks for sharing so minimalistic image. I wish I would see more.

that' s so nice.. thanks for sharing. I would love to see more

i think they are challenging because it is hard to exclude elements from the image composition using wide angles. some people think they are easy because it is easy to include elements in the image composition using wide angles.

I agree with this. Wide-angle photography has always proven to be difficult for me. I just can't isolate my subjects in the way I would like; the images end up being far too busy for my taste. Nana's seascapes are wonderful examples of wide-angle used to great effect where everything from the foreground to the horizon IS the subject, and his images are amazingly uncluttered considering how wide 47mm is on 4x5.
