[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 276262, member: 13090"] I could try and explain why this approach doesn't work but I'll just say that different lenses are NOT going to get you *better* pictures, they'll just get you pictures. How *good* your shot's are is up to you. That might sound like I'm being condescending but I'm not. Understanding just how true this is could save you a bit of money AND improve your photography, so it's a sort of two-fer, really, which is always nice to come home to. Anyhoo... It sounds to me like what you are trying to figure out is "focal length" and this [URL="https://www.tamron-usa.com/lenses/learning_center/tools/focal-length-comparison.php"]focal length comparison tool[/URL] might help you better understand what this means on a very practical level. Googling that phrase will get you lots of other hits if that one doesn't float your proverbial boat. Since this trip is a bit of a big deal, I might suggest you spend some time learning some of the basic rules of photographic composition because this is what really elevates snapshots into decent photographs. Just a suggestion, of course, but you might find it worthwhile to read over this [URL="http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/10-top-photography-composition-rules"]crash course in composition[/URL] for starters. There are tons of them on the Intarwebs should you choose to pursue the topic. [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
