One of the inherent challenges when using wide angle lenses in the field is what’s often referred to as barrel distortion. This is what makes tall vertical objects appear to be leaning over when working with focal lengths of 28mm or less. We used to correct for this by using what’s known as tilt-shift lenses or through a complicated process in Photoshop. Now, however, we are able to fix barrel / perspective distortion very quickly right inside of Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.
Prior to my workshop on the Gulf Coast of Florida this April, I spent a week exploring and filming and photographing wildlife in this photographers paradise. From sandhill cranes with newborn colts to baby barred owls, this time of the year in this place is simply extraordinary and I really cannot think of another location in North American that I would rather be in April as a wildlife photographer! You don’t want to miss this one. . .
