Photo challenge :: Zoom out
Nine times out of ten, I take pictures that are zoomed in close (well, maybe not with a zoom lens but still — framed closely) and I have to physically remind myself to take shots that include more of the scene. So if I have to remind myself, well… I’m going to remind you too. Just this once.
Your challenge is to zoom out and take a photograph of a whole scene. Depending on your camera, you may need to do this with your feet or your lens!
Post your image on Flickr, on your blog or in another online photo gallery. Leave a link to it in the comments on this post to be entered.
One winner will be randomly chosen to win a prize pack of scrapbooking supplies from American Crafts, ready for your next crafting project.
Please see this post for all the deadlines and details about this weekend.
Now… what scene will you find? Indoors and outdoors both welcome!

Not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination! How and ever, this is the view from the roof of our house towards the Sugar Loaf and County Wicklow… (fully zoomed out, I might add!)

I took a step way back from our house, but if you look closely you might see a baby in the doorway and a little boy along for the journey.

I did a zoom out of the field at back of our house. Of course hipstamatic makes things smaller….so not sure how it worked, but love the atmosphere of it! And the tree…
