Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Joey Gunz. Check me out on line at www.joeygunz.com. This is the last 16th part of our 16 part series on getting started in photography. One of the last things we are going to talk about today is the wide angle lens. If you get a lens that is wide enough and call it a fish eye lens because the fish has one eye and it sees like 160 degree feel of you or something like that. With wide angle lens it really gives you the ability to shoot a wide area of space where you might not necessarily have to back up a long distance to get a very large area. To give you an example, if we were to take this lens that you are viewing now through the Internet, this wonders model of knowledge and information that is delivered to you relatively free, well at least the knowledge is. The Internet connection costs money. Now you see what a wide angle is. So you see we can do everything and catch like freak shot and catch me doing a little thing. It gives you the ability to cover a large area of space in a relatively short distance. So that is your wide angle. Wide angle lenses are essential for doing landscapes for shooting people in short areas but be aware a lot of times your wide angle lens will cause distortion. They may make you look like you've got a big head or really long or kind of like plastic man or something so be really careful when you are dealing with your wide angle lenses because they do call it a fish eye affect for some reason. All right, I'm Joey Gunz and its been real fun You can get on line and I'm sorry, you're already on line. You can go over to www.joeygunz.com and check out some of my work. Give me some feedback. I would like to hear from you.
