Up close and personal

July 10, 2013

A wide-angle lens has two great qualities: to push your subject away and to bring your subject closer. The only problem is that the latter requires you to break into your subjects personal bubble.

Robert Capa's famous quote goes, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."

Now I wouldn't say that I completely agree with this quote but it still holds true to a certain degree. A great dynamic image can be made when combining a wide-angle point of view and a close proximity to your subject.

Like most candid images this moment was gone in an instant, only giving me time to rattle off one frame. Fortunately for me it was in focus. 

Until next time, take care!
