I've been looking through my recent photographic work and I've noticed that I'm leaning towards a more cinematic feel to my images. Alot of that has to do with the recent renting of the super wide 14mm lens not too long ago and I'm not all that surprised. Going as wide as possible, you can't help but shoot photos that could be stills taken from a movie.
Going wide, you catch EVERYTHING. Now, I'm shooting on a Canon EOS 7D so I'm handicapped with a crop sensor. That being said, the 14mm, or any wide angle lens for that matter, isn't really 14mm or any "x"mm sized lens on my camera but ever since I picked up the 7D, all I've been shooting with is a 50mm prime lens so I don't see much wide angle action all that much. I've been missing out but eventually I do plan on getting some type of wide angle lens in the near future.
I still am capable of shooting some cinematic type photos with my 50mm but the instances and moments come few and far between. Having seen my "cinematic" works and comparing it my other stuff, I'm now longing for the ability to shoot these types of photos more often. All of my ideas (that I have yet to work on) are pretty cinematic ideas in and of themselves so having a wide angle lens would greatly help capture my ideas as close to the essence of said ideas. A 50mm prime can only go so far you know?If you'd like to see more of my work, become a fan of my photography page on Facebook @ 17thletter Photography!
