Japanese Gardens
Jun 19, 2021 16:12:05 #
I took a quick trip to the Normandale Japanese Gardens and was pleased the find them almost empty. It is beautiful there, but I found it difficult to get the image I wanted with my 50mm on a DX body.
I have a Tokina 11-16 on order from KEH--I should be out experimenting with it right now, but it spent the last week sitting in a Fedex facility in Austell, GA. I'm hoping to finally receive it on Monday.

Traditional Japanese Garden well captured. Thanks for sharing.

Why, what type of photo were you thinking of. Have you taken photos with a lens that wide before. A lens of that focal length is great when you have a foreground subject/object relatively close to your lens. Everything beyond that will start to get pretty small. Great for stretching the clouds in a long exposur landscapes IMHO. Either way it should prove a welcome addition to your lens collection. A 16-35 or 24-70 would be my first choice. I have a 14-24 & really love the lens but if I had to do it all over, would purchase the 24-70 first. Post a photo after you get it. Happy shooting.

It is a beautiful image. As you have already experienced, a 50 mm lens is not the ideal lens for landscapes when using a DX body. It could be for the "intimate landscape" but not for general landscape photography.
Your Tokina wide angle will do better but make sure you get close to your subject. Wide angles will expand the foregrounds making them interesting while receding the backgrounds giving the impression they are farther away than they are.
You will have fun with the new lens.

After I sold my dslr, I shot with a smartphone for a few years and really fell in love with the landscape images it produced--the angle of view at least. I love the distorted look of ultra-wides and look forward to the challenge.
The lens is now safely in Minnesota and should be delivered tomorrow. I'll most likely go back to the gardens to try it out.
