Favorite Camera Lens for Alleyways
My favorite travel lens, especially for shooting doorways and alleyways in Europe, is hands-down the 16mm pancake lens. In a narrow alleyway there isn’t much room to back up for a shot. And I often want all the beautiful details around the doorway, so I need to be able to shoot as wide as possible. That’s what the 16mm lens gives me.
The next time someone says there’s nothing worth photographing at high noon, you can smile to yourself and think of Italy’s villages or the winding, narrow alleyways of Rome, and the magic that is waiting there for you to capture. How to Shoot at High Noon first appeared on Sony’s AlphaUniverse.
