wide angle photos

 In this shot, my friend is driving our boat from our cabin in the background to the other side of the lake to pick up supplies for our cabin. The cabin is on an island, and we have to get to it by boat or snowmobile. I shot this wide so we could see the cabin in the background. Also the beer in the cup holder is viewable, which is crucial to the story. We like to have fun while we're working. That's probably why the cabin is crooked? If the beer is not in this shot, one might not question whether this man is drinking and driving. This was shot with a Canon 7D at 17mm.

This photo was shot on the Kenai river on a record day as far as fishing goes. Just on this day a state record of 260,000 Sockeye salmon swam past the fish counter. This was last summer, and it is possible we had such a record year because the Japanese fishing fleet got wiped out from the Tsunami. It was important to shoot this not only wide but vertical as well, because we can see all the fish on the bottom of the boat, and you can see down the length of the handle which leads the eye right up to the fish in the net. I wish i could now take this shot again and maybe get more of my uncles arm in this photo. The width of this photo gives us perspective as to what's happening in this story. It is not just one boat out there fishing, their are a whole bunch of boats out fishing on this day, which tells the viewer that this might be a big deal. Also taken at 17mm
