Wide Angle Goose

Playing around with the 10-20mm today. I was feeding her right out of my hand and thought she would be fun to try some distortion on.

oooh I like this!! it shows a nice perspective!

the texture of the snow and feed. I like the background too. Did you bring the food?

I did bring the food I was walking around and noticed her walking by herslef on the path.. She fed out of my hands without issue so I thought I would try some wide angle perspectives on her seeing as she was so comfortable. Eventually she got tired of me and moved off.

it's tough being a model, she needed a break.

Was it just bird seed? I ask because there's a flock of ducks on my walk and I want to bring them some food but not bread.

I usually just get them bird seed from the grocery store. Sometimes I use hamster food because it has corn,seeds and alfalfa pellets in it.

Cool! It's hard to use the wide angle and get away with taking heads

I'm not sure exactly what you mean with taking heads MA.

Well with the wide angle lens you get a lot of distortion as you've discovered. It leans vertical things inwards and also exaggerates the distance between things at the front and things at the back.
With heads/faces it makes things like noses or beaks look way too big and/or long.
