Photography of Architecture (Interior)
By comparison, a 14mm lens on a 35mm camera captures an entire motel room from the doorway (also
from Cape Cod -- this is the room where Mary Jo Kopechne stayed the night before her death (in Ted
Kennedy's car, off the Dike Bridge)):
Go Tight (or at least normal)
Wide, wide, wide all the time makes for dull photography. Sometimes you can highlight details or reveal
patterns better with a normal (50mm) or longer lens.
Go Fast (in public)
In public interiors where the use of tripods is prohibited and flash is either prohibited or won't capture
the mood that you've found, use a fast lens. A lens with an aperture of f/2.0 will work in light that is 1/4
as bright as that required by a cheap zoom lens's f/4.0 maximum aperture. Going to f/1.4 from f/2.0
