Back story: Most camera systems these days give you a wide-range zoom that allows you to easily adjust the focal length from wide-angle to telephoto.\u00a0This is convenient, too convenient.

What do I mean by fixed lens? I mean a prime lens; in other words a lens with non-adjustable focal length, so\u00a0not<\/em> a ‘zoom lens’. Fill the frame as you see fit; you might need to walk around a bit to make your composition work.<\/p>\n

So why not give it a try. Pick a lens, maybe a 50mm, but make it work.<\/p>\n
