wide-angle photography

Wide-angle photography involves using a lens with a short focal length to capture a broader scene than standard lenses. This allows more of the environment to fit into the frame, making it ideal for landscapes, architecture, or tight spaces. The effect often accentuates perspectives, making close objects appear larger and distant backgrounds seem farther away, adding depth and drama to images. Wide-angle lenses typically range from about 14mm to 35mm on a full-frame camera. They require careful composition to avoid distortion and can creatively emphasize scale and spatial relationships within a scene.
