Wide Angle | Inclusion {Week 14}

It is a new year, new month, and a new topic for Photo 52: Within the Frame. We will be spotlighting perspective for the next month, examining the way your choice of lens can alter your viewpoint. Wide angle lenses allow our camera to see wider than the eye can, and therefore allow us to include a great deal of the environment along with our subject. The perfect lens for a snowy landscape!

This past Thursday night Hercules, the first blizzard of 2014, descended upon the Northeast. The following morning I went out with my oldest son, traipsing around the neighborhood. While he had fun tossing snowballs up the hill, I took some wide angle photos of him within the winter landscape. My favorite is the image below which is intentionally shot out of focus. The bright red hat reminds me of one of my favorite books from childhood, "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats. It was the perfect book to read to my son when we got home from our adventure.
