Foto Friday: Waimea Canyon

This view is why God made wide angle lenses. Unfortunately, my angle wasn't wide enough, so I'm only able to give you a part of the canyon. I was going to mosaic it into a panorama, but never got around to it. I may still one day. But it would be a lot easier to just go back to Kauai with a wider lens.

Waimea Canyon, Kauai, Sep. 1995

I have recently developed a bad case of lens lust. I just ordered a Canon 28mm lens to take the place of my off-brand 28mm (which took this picture). And now I find I have a great desire for more and better lenses. Like, say, a 20 or even 17mm, for scenes like the one above. Fortunately, I am limited by the age of my camera; there's only so much money you can drop on twenty-year-old lenses. (Unfortunately for me, I don't even have that much money. But I can dream!)
