What is your favorite landscape camera lens? In this video on ultra wide angle photography, professional outdoor photographer Ian Plant shows you why he is addicted to what he calls “that sweet ultra-wide lens.”

What exactly is an ultra wide-angle lens? By way of example, Ian uses his Canon 11–24mm lens, which corrects for the rectilinear distortion that creates the curved lines from the fish-eye lens. Straight lines are rendered straight. The purpose of the lens is to dramatize the foregrounds through extreme perspective. “You want to be low and close with your subject,” he says.
