Sounds bad doesn’t it…CFWA..but it isn’t..close focus wide angle!

I was going to write an email to Gudge and show him my first efforts at CFWA with a 1.4x added to my 17-40 but then I decided I’ll just do it as a blog post and tell the world (hello…anyone read this?).

Well, Gudge sent me a couple of CFWA shots he took in Exmouth that I thought were pretty cool and it got me thinking about doing something similar here. The concept is not at all new but a good CFWA shot is not the easiest to get and being a slack-ass I try and go for the glory shots and give the harder stuff a miss.

I gave it a go today, at Bare Island and you can see three shots that came out of it, and lets face it, none of them are really CFWA at all.

So lesson one for Aengus, for CFWA have half decent viz, not a suspended sand hazy3 metres viz, and then have something interesting in the background to give the “wide” feel.

Thank God for the Canon raw processing and photoshop which “saved” the attached pics and Gudge, wow, depth of field was great!

P.S. Yes we do have critters besides Weedy Sea Dragon’s in Sydney!
