This week Patti at P.A. Moed has set the challenge of “Going Wide”. This means taking photos with the wide angle lens on your camera. Most of the time I use my Galaxy S10 which has three cameras including the wide angle lens. I find that it generally takes very good photos. I do own a Canon Powershot but to take above average shots I think I would need a tripod.
Below are some I’ve taken over the years.

It’s true Alison, these days phone cameras do a fine job with wide shots and panoramas. It gets harder every day for the camera companies to compete unless one is willing to carry a very heavy bag with a number of expensive lenses! Lovely images for the challenge this week.
Thanks Tina. I think unless your a dedicated photographer and have lots of time then a smart phone will do the job
Nice set of images Ali 🙂
Thanks 😊
Great pictures! Sometimes beautiful pictures of the mountains, like yours from Canada, makes me a little homesick. Tennessee has some lovely rolling hills, but nothing quite like the dramatic mountains of other places.
We loved Canada and the mountains, especially after the mist had cleared and you saw the top of the mountain peeping through
A beautiful collection, Alison. I love your first two shots in particular! A great collection from around the world!
You’ve really hit the jackpot here Alison, with these lovely wide-angle shots. AND you’ve made me think about phone cameras although I don’t think the weight would allow me to hold one steady enough to prevent camera shake.
Thanks Mari. If you get one of the latest phones there wouldn’t be camera shake. So easy to use as you can just whip your phone out whenever you see a great photo
Such a beautiful world, Alison!
Thanks Jo 🙂
Great photos. I like the red and white farm buildings at the top. All expand nicely for details.
Thanks John ..that photo is a little village in Iceland
Your dune pose in Fuerteventura is perfect. Brings perspective to the photo for “going wide” and it is also fun. donna
Thank you so much for your comments 🙂
A lovely set of wide angles!
These images are wide open for praise! I’d love to visit any of them. Thanks for sharing what you see in such a unique way!
And thanks, too, for following Oh, the Places We See.
Thanks for visiting 🙂
If you’re ever up in York, UK I’ll take you to see Rawcliffe Lake (https://robertcday.wordpress.com/2022/02/04/lakeside-panorama) with pleasure. 🙂
Does the panorama mode on my smartphone count? If so, I took this: https://robertcday.wordpress.com/2022/02/04/lakeside-panorama
