Wide-Angle
Otherworldly
This is a wide-angle view of the unique landscape found at Badlands National Park in South Dakota, USA.
I took a different approach to this image. Using a fisheye, wide-angle lens, I was able to squeeze a lot of geography into the frame. Normally to see this view, you would have a much wider image. (Compare my previous post of a similar landscape.) This particular lens also adds a curvature to the horizon.

Descent to Vertigo
Going down! These steps are part of the arduous 303 step stairway to a scenic view at Roche-A-Cri State Park near Friendship, Wisconsin. It’s quite a climb to the top but worth the view and a welcome place to rest before beginning the descent.
I took a few photos of the stairway and thought this one was most interesting because of the turns and the angle of the shot. This was shot with a wide-angle lens (12mm). I processed this photo in both color and monochrome and asked my wife to pick the one she preferred. She liked the B&W best. So here it is.

The Heavens Declare
A dramatic, summer storm rolled across the skies of rural, northeast Wisconsin.
These clouds were forming for a predicted, early evening storm. In order to capture as much of the sky in one frame, I snapped this one with my wide-angle lens at about 11mm. I wish I would have had the opportunity to set up my video camera for a time-lapse view of these clouds rolling in.
By the way, this storm really didn’t turn into much of a storm; just a bit of rain.
