Wide angles are between the most fascinating types of lenses that your money can buy without any doubt. The perspective, the width of field, the distortion are just a few of the things that contribute to make these lenses so interesting.
Even if you started taking photos a few days ago, the chances that you already encountered or heard the words “HDR photography” at least a couple of times are very high; this particular technique became incredibly popular in the last decade, specially in those years when there weren’t yet digital cameras with a super wide dynamic range.
One of the most common dilemmas in the photography world is whether you shouldn’t settle for compromises and buy your equipment as new or you should save some money and look for the same objects (or maybe the previous version of them) in the secondhand market. While the first option is the safer one (but also the more expensive), the latter is a bit more risky but at the same time it’s also more tempting.
Sometimes it will be hard to resist. Sometimes you’ll ask yourself who made you do it, or why you are doing it. Sometimes you’ll think you’ll be freezing to death in that harsh, unwelcoming environment, which doesn’t matter if it’s 3 minutes from your home or 3 continents away.
You’ll think “that’s enough, I quit”. But then, as if by magic, you’ll find yourself again in that same cold environment. And again.
A “duel” that started probably well before you were born, Nikon and Canon have always been between the most important names (if not the most of them all!) of the photography market. Over the decades they battled the throne for whom is producing the best cameras and lenses: sometimes Canon was ahead, sometimes Nikon instead
Talking about which image format is better is a bit like discussing on which lens is better between a 14mm and a 500mm, or on what cameras are better between mirrorless and reflex; you got it, it’s one of those arguments that will never leave the table of passionate photographers and will keep to make people arguing about it, over and over again.
