Change lenses

If you’re getting stuck in a rut, change your lenses to alter your perspective (see page 130 for Joe McNally’s take on this). Caroline switched from her 24-70mm f/2.8 to a 105mm f/2.8 macro for the shot above. The longer focal length compressed the perspective and gave her a shallower depth of field. When changing lenses, especially in a floury environment like this, air-dust the optical elements, as there’s nothing worse than getting home and finding you have hundreds of speckly images to process.
