Dramatic Clouds over lake

September 26th 2014
September 26 – After breakfast and a chat with our great B&B host, Vivian, we headed off for a hike. But first we had to drive around a bit. (David does like to drive these twisty roads in our brand new zippy car!) Eventually, we found the Okareka Walkway, a trail that went along a lake. It was a cool, windy day (even the birds didn’t look pleased) so we battened down the hatches and started ... read more

Great Cloud Shot
It looks so amazing. Was it an ultra wide angle or it's just the way clouds were? The rest of the shot doesn't look ultra wide.

Cloud Capture
Hi Arya this was with a 10-22mm lens on a 1.6 crop EOS M body. (16-35mm effective.) This image was taken at 10mm wide so it is pretty wide, which does enhance the clouds that are most of the shot. Since there is not much on the ground to scale against, that may make the ground portion seem ok and not wide. Also pointing the camera up enhances the perspective distortion in the sky. Hope that answers your question...
