Petteri’s Pontifications: Mastering Wide-Angle

Mark Goldstein | Technique | December 30, 2003 | 0 Comments

Finnish photographer Petteri Sulonen has published a comprehensive guide to the world of wide-angle photography, explaining what it is, the characteristics, what it can be used for, and how to use it effectively. An excellent article that’s well worth bookmarking and printing out for future reference.

“The problem with wide-angle photography is that it’s… wide. That is, if you point your camera at a random subject, you’ll get a lot of things inside the frame. Some of them will very likely be dark, others will be light, some will be near, some will be far. This introduces all kinds of complications, and in fact turns many of the usual rules, techniques, and even desirable lens characteristics on their heads.”
