Imagine, you want to photograph a large, wide and heavy building.
Limitations: not enough space to step away from the building to get it framed well, you can walk 10 meters until the other side of the street, but further behind you is a wall.
Standing there against the wall, watching the building... you check your equipment.
You notice you only have a 50mm lens that you like for its sharpness, and you have a 28-80 zoom lens that does not suit you very well because by experience it's not giving you the results you want. And, at 28mm the building is nearly framed as seen through your viewfinder. But, you have a fisheye converter too, that reduces your quality because that one is not that sharp.
You're not planning to buy new gear for this single shot.
Solutions?
- a screw-up fisheye converter on your zoom to capture the building totally, with less quality and aberration.
- shoot a part of the building with an alternative composition, with your 50mm lens, sharp, but not in it's whole.
- shoot the building in different shots, stitch together afterwards with software?
- ...
What would your solution be?
