Sort o' Cave


Another badlands image from this weekend. Shot with my 17-40 at 17 mm., full frame sensor on the 1Ds2. I don't normally think of myself a wide angle kind of guy, but there are times when nothing else will do. In this case, the cave was at the top of a steep hill and stepping back three feet meant stepping down 4 feet, so either i needed a really tall tripod, not to mention a ladder to get up to the viewfinder, or I needed my 17 mm. lens. Actually, I bought it at the time when I was using the 10D with the 1.6 multiplier effect because of the small sensor, but have used it quite often on the full frame camera, less for near far compositions than for lack of room to operate, but some of those too.
