There’s a great discipline that comes from using prime lenses, especially if you just pick one and limit yourself to it for the session. 16 mm is very wide, but it also has an interesting ability to capture an enormous depth of the field. You don’t really have to worry about stuff being in focus when you shoot super wide. The Canon RF 16 mm f/2.8 however has a great ability to get up close and personal with its very short minimum focusing distance. You have to be careful with faces but a tiger lily in full bloom doesn’t really care if its features get a little bit distorted, it’s such a vibrant and flamboyant living thing — what’s a little more gonna do?
