Insurance Exchange Building - a photo on Flickriver

In December of 2015 I'd taken my photographic hobby to new heights. A month earlier, I began processing in HDR. I began utilizing auto exposure bracketing (AEB) in my 10 month old Canon EOS Rebel T5i, my very first DSLR. I wasn't very good at it, and am sometimes appalled at the cartoony look of my first HDR images, but I got better as the years ticked by, and a decade later, I rarely shoot anything other than HDR.

I always had a wide angle "attachment" to my Sony Cybershot, my camera for the previous 8 years. In December 2015 I got my first wide angle lens for the DSLR.

Here is a newly processed photo taken on my very first "Photo Expedition" with my then brand new Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens.

I love to shoot as wide as possible, esp. when attempting to get tall buildings in the shot.

This morning (01/13/2025), I'm awaiting the delivery of my NEW wide angle lens, a Canon RF10-20mm F4 L IS STM. I've been using the previous lens, with an EF mount and an adapter, on my first full frame camera with an RF mount, the EOS R from 2020, and now the EOS R5. The lens I get today uses the RF mount and allows usage of the full area of the 45MP sensor. I've waited over a year for the lens to become available on Canon's website. It sold out almost as soon as it was introduced. I'm pretty excited.

From Wikipedia: "Registered historic building located on Broadway in downtown Long Beach, California, USA. The eight-story Beaux Arts building was one of the largest office buildings in downtown Long Beach when it opened in 1925. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003."
