Of
the five fundamental photographic questions, "What lens do I use?" is
one of the most straight-forward to answer, but by the same measure, it
is also one that many photographers do no make consciously. For most, I suspect the lens that is used is more related to what is on their camera
at the time, as opposed to what would best suit the desired image.
This field trip focused on that question.

Since
I first started seriously working with wide lenses in 1997, which have
grown to be my default lens in most situations (the only notable
exception is portraiture, where long lenses are the obvious choice).
Thus, on this field trip, I tried to focus exclusively on long lenses,
working with the 400mm lens almost exclusively.

The
end of the field trip saw us at the town clock, at the base of citadel
hill; after spending the rest of the field trip working with colour and
long lenses, I reverted to my favourite modus operendi - super-wide
lenses and my infrared camera.
