Equipment

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 15mm F2.8 Fish Eye lens. Taken hand-held

Inspiration

The beauty of Yosemite and the enormous size of this gigantic trees. I wanted to capture the whole size of the trees and it's only possible with the use fish-eye lens. Never mind the lens distortion, it adds uniqueness to the photo.

Editing

Yes, conversion from RAW to JPEG by LightRoom.

In my camera bag

This was a vacation/photography tour. Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 15mm F2.8, 70-200mm F2.8 and 100mm F2.8 macro lens. Manfrotto tripod. Spare batteries.

Feedback

To capture big subjects, try to use wide angle lens but be careful of lens distortion. If you don't have such lens, try capturing multiple shots and combined it via Photo Stitching Software, this method will give better and higher resolutions than wide angle lens.
