For me, wide angle usually means vistas.  Long reaching views.  But I thought I would reign  it in a little with this challenge.

I shoot with a Nikon 1 camera that has a really cropped view with a standard lens.  So I have a “wide angle” lens for my mirrorless camera that let’s me shoot a much wider view.  My camera also has some built in features that let you take different kinds of photos.  I used the HDR feature for this photo.  It blended the different exposures nicely.

I hike in Corrales quite often as it is very pretty there along the bosque and I usually don’t run into a lot of people.  I’m one of those folks that happiest if I hike all day and don’t run into a soul.  I like to experience nature all by myself.

Many times I have driven through Corrales and seen a sign about an historical church down a side road.  I have never taken the time to visit this church.  I figured a visit was in order with this week’s challenge.  I was not disappointed.  The church was built in 1868 and has the typical New Mexico church look.

For Scarlett, wide angle meant “mom! get me doing something really cool!”  🙂  So she ran up this old deadfall and posed nicely for this week’s photo challenge.
