Wide-angle photography was this week’s theme until Friday’s photo shoot. I thought about taking a wide-angle photograph but I prefer the use of a telephoto lens when photographing portraits. Saturday’s photograph will likely be from a telephoto lens and then Sunday’s climbing photo was a 50 f1.8. This coming week’s photographs will not have a theme, enjoy.
