The One Lens Challenge

The Concept:

In Today’s Photo Minute, Brian Osborne follows up on our Shoot and Share this past weekend and what he learned about using his least-used lens, the fisheye, for a variety of photos. In addition, he discusses the value in getting to know all of our lenses’ capabilities so we can get the most out of what we own. Below are some images I did with the fisheye lens over this past weekend.

The Assignment:

Grab a lens that is either a prime lens (does not zoom) or use a zoom lens and keep the focal length the same and see how many shots of different subjects you can create with just the lens (or range). This not only helps us to become more familiar with our lens selection but also creates creativity as we start to learn to look for images that are ideal for whatever lens we have on at the time. (Below are two more real life examples from the past couple of years in how I used a fisheye for some creative images.)
