4 simple TIPS that will IMPROVE your WIDE ANGLE lens photography
In this week's video, I'm giving you 4 simple tips that will improve your WIDE ANGLE lens photography in no time!
The most powerful tool in my camera bag is probably a wide-angle lens, like the 16-35mm. Other than perhaps a drone, there’s, in my opinion, no other single piece of photographic equipment that can help YOU create more jaw-dropping photos and impactful compositions than a wide-angle lens. So if you haven’t tried going wide in your photography, you NEED to do these things with your WIDE ANGLE zoom lens!
I’ve just always loved to shoot very wide and try to get multiple elements into the frame and make unique photos full of storytelling. But I wasn’t always very good at it, and that’s why I wanted to make this video, where I will break down 4 things you need to know to get the most out of your wide-angle lens.
So without further ado, here are my do's and don'ts in wide-angle photography!

My name's Christian and I've created this channel to share helpful videos for content creators to help them be better travel and adventure photographers, and learn how to use the tools to make it happen.
I started this channel so I would have a place to express myself and share everything I've learned about making photography that resonates with people while sharing my passion for the true adventure. I am always inspired by visiting new places, and I find incredible happiness in being out in the natural world. So if you're into learning how to create more meaningful compositions, tell a story with your photos or better understand focal point and framing, you have to subscribe!
I'm currently based in Bali, Indonesia. I'm always down to connect and answer any questions, so feel free to reach out on social media. You can also reach me at

Christian Als No worries. I'll be watching this one again. Seeing photography from another point of view helps to broaden and inspire my creativity. 🥂
Great video you have placed some great insights into the use of wide angle lens! Love your photos and what they express!! Best wishes Anthony
I know this is an old video but this changed my mind about selling my 16-35mm f2.8
Brilliant video and lots of great tips 👍
GREAT INFO! I've been using a DX 12-24mm lens on a fullframe Nikon D750, giving me a 18-35mm lens perspective and giving me me a whole new perspective! Thanks for this video...I
Some wide-angle pics that I took came out distorted, hope these tips can improve them! Thanks for sharing :)

Yeah, you have to be very careful with lines, especially indoors - that can look terrible. That's a thing I could have addressed in this video. Thanks for the support and I hope you took away something here.
Such great content, your stuff beats a lot of hyped up channels out there

Nice vid thanks! Subbed.
I know nothing about cameras or their lenses so thank you for this
Excellent video! I just met you through Sunny and YTFB - I also just picked up a CANON M50 so you have gained a new subscriber - looking forward to more content from you!
So much. I use my 16mm for talking head videos... so nice that it can be used for Landscape photos. Beautiful shots.

This whole video was shot on a Sigma 16mm 1,4, so it's also a focal length I use a lot in filmmaking and KZread... I really appreciate your feedback, mate!

Awesome photos and some great tips. I got some wide-angle lenses but always felt I haven't used them to their potential. This video helped a lot.

It's definitely 'easier' to use shorter focal lengths, like 24-70mmmm or a 70-200mm, as it is always easier to narrow things down, to simplify than it is to figure out which things to include in a BIG frame... I really appreciate your time watching and I hope you will take these tips with you on your onwards photography journey!
Really appreciate all the details on this video. I've been itching to get out there to use my sigma17-50mm for landscapes, also looking to get something wider even 10mm or 11mm.
Many thanks for this interesting video! I have just a remark to the picture at 17:35. My wife likes it to show a person to get an image how large an object - in that case the waterfall - is. What is your opinion about this? Thx Peter
At timestamp 6:55 and the next photo after that, did you use long exposure? Is long exposure more frequently used with wide angle lenses?
