Wide Shots
Exaggerate perspective with wide-angle lenses.
The foremost feature of the 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm family of wide-angle lenses is their broad field of view. With a 28mm lens, the amount of area included in the image is 2.5x that of a 50mm lens; with a 24mm lens, it is 3x. This is decidedly useful for scenery shots or for indoor photography. And since wide-angles also provide an exaggerated sense of depth, they can be used to alter the appearance of foregrounds or, when held at high or low angles, for interesting or humorous shots of people. Further, the great depth of field of wide-angle lenses means that pan focus pictures (in which everything in the image is in focus) are possible by stopping the lens down to f/16 or f/22.
