I saved up and finally bought a wide angle lens for my camera. A 24mm tilt/shift lens without autofocus, it's the most "manual" lens I've ever owned. You can't really use it well without a tripod. That said, based on the few photos I've taken so far, it's one of the sharpest lenses I've ever used. It has a learning curve, but I love it already.

My living room. |
After lunch I walked around Auburn University campus and took photos.

Comer Hall, housing the College of Agriculture, my alma mater. |
|
Samford Hall, Auburn's most iconic building, now used for administration. A few years ago they cleared most of the shrubs and small trees off of the front lawn which, in spite of being a horticulturist, I loved. I don't like a lot of plants cluttered in front of buildings. |

Langdon Hall, one of Auburn's older buildings with Greek Revival influence. Tradition says if you step on the seal in the pavement you won't get married. |
|
24mm wasn't quite wide enough to get Hargis Hall and Samford Hall together. I'll step further back next time. |

Samford Hall again, after the sun broke through the clouds. |
Hmm. That seal. That'll explain my vocation!
ReplyDeleteWith that lens, Samford Hall looks like something out of Harry Potter, the way it slightly bows outward.
Mine too! Haha
