Uh-oh. I have a new camera lens. I read up on it for weeks and weeks before I finally bought it. Actually before I had the money for it. It is a Canon 10-22 Ultra-Wide-Angle Lens. It will take some getting used to. It is used primarily for large panoramas and landscapes and people up-close and personal. I have scoured the Internet for photographs people have taken with this lens. I am excited ! It really won’t take the place of my regular lens but it will be so fun to try some creative things with willing or unwilling grandchildren. I have already practiced on Grandpa and erased every photograph I took. I did like the one of his car. It was as long as a limo with an enormous grill. Actually, so were Grandpa’s ears. And his nose. I need more practice.
So. Here I go again. Messing around with technical things I have no business trying to figure out. I am sure that I will understand about a nano-fraction of the things I need to know to use the new lens well. Nevertheless . . . I am ready. And, children are usually really good sports except that unlike a regular or telephoto lens, I have to get right in their faces. Let’s hope I improve !
