In this short blurb we discuss “How To” improve your Close Focus Wide Angle Photography. The name pretty much tells it all about C.F.W.A, it’s a form of wide angle photography utilizing a wide angle lens from very close quarters, usually 30 cm or closer to the subject. The cool thing about a CFWA shot is that it allows the photographer to encompass not just the main subject, but also a view into the background as well. Therefore, the key to a successful CFWA shot is choosing a subject that suits the frame and has a pleasing background to go with it. What often works are subjects around 15-30 cm in size or larger and are situated in a suitable position. A wide lens such as a fisheye or a fisheye with TC and a small dome port are preferred, in order to get the strobes in as close as possible to the subject without causing shadow to fall across the front of it. A slow shutter speed is also a good choice as this allows the natural light to burn in the exposure in the background
