Images by Nicki - My First Blog


Hello first blog! OK so I feel like Carrie Bradshaw. But that isn't such a bad thing at all. In fact Sex And The City is one of my favorite shows. Instead of writing about those wonderful creatures we call men, I thought I'd write about the fish eye lens. I know I know, you'd rather hear about men. Well, maybe next time. ;)

The thing I love about any wide angle lens is the way it forces you to get right into the scene, and I mean INTO the scene!! It's hardly as much fun standing aloof and zooming in with our big fancy zoom lenses. When you switch gears and put on a wide angle things get tiny unless you move in. That my friends, is the funnest part of taking pictures!! Unless of course you are in a patch of poison ivy as I had the unfortunate experience of doing a couple weeks ago. OK but lets say you are driving around the back roads of small town and you find a dilapidated old diner. Hello! Get your butt out of the car and walk right on up to that magnificent piece of Americana and shoot it UP CLOSE!! Trust me, it's so fun. Any one up for a Nicki road trip??
