You may still remember “Balanced Rock” that I posted in 2009. I had an opportunity of visiting this location recently on my way to Colorado Springs, USA. For this trip, I was just in time to capture an image of the rock against the backdrop of fantastic cloud formation in the sky. Again, the super wide angle lens is really essential to capture such an image.
While we were driving from Estes Park to Carbondale for an over night. We spotted another location by the road side of the AAA Designated Scenic Drive. Surely I was fascinated by the fantastic cloud formation in the sky. I deliberately using a low vantage angle to emphasize the dried tree in the foreground. I think an outstanding landscape image could be capture even at an ordinary location. Your view point is really matters.
If nature subject is your cup of tea, I think you would be fancy to visit Paint Mines Interpretive Park. The fantastic geological formations is a place for nature wonder. Spending half a day here, with the luck of having good lighting condition, you may end up with numerous colourful images to show the majesty of the Park. I utilized the 14mm lens to create the greater depth to this nature creation. Perhaps, this answer the question of how useful is a super wide angle lens in photography. This is another trip of the 2011 PSA Annual Conference, Colorado Springs, USA.
