Wide angle portraits
I normally shun wide angle lenses for portraits, but I used my Nikkor 14-24mm lens on my D700 so much on my recent trip to Yellowstone, that I wound up with many people photos with this lens. The distortion is there, and not always flattering, but it gives a great sense of the landscape along with the people on my trip.
1. The kids in front of old faithful
2.Artist's point
3.Hiking the Yellowstone River
4. This fellow is 77 and took his daughter along with him for the trip.
5. My son taking a break in front of the Tetons
6. The family that bikes together...
7. Look at those mountains!
In the end, I'm less afraid of this lens where people are involved. I don't reach for it for portraits, but it can work if WA is needed.

Great shots! That one with the guy and his bike need to be on the cover of a magazine for sure, maybe AARP....
#3 is a great example of how it can work --- nice shot and I like the comp. Like the series.
I'm working on that one.
