I am in Venice, Italy right now conducting a photo workshop during carnival. As usual, my blood pressure at least doubles or triples because of the amazing color, the brilliant and creative costuming, and the classic backgrounds that this medieval city has to offer. It's an incredible high to be here and to see such a wonderful event.
My photo group shot today on Borano Island, which is famous for it's colorful houses, and I demonstrated how ultra-dramatic a wide angle lens is for portraiture. I used my 14mm lens quite a bit and photographed very close to several of the models. That's the key to creating visual impact with a wide angle -- get close.
Later in the day we shot in a 17th century palace and again I used my wide angle lens to capture the ambiance of the place with a beautiful model. It was a special day, and everyone in my group got incredible images.
I will upload more photos tomorrow.
