A soaring eagle in a city park memorializes Ishigaki's casualties in World War II. To make that eagle seem to soar, I had to move in very close to the pedestal and shoot straight up at the statue. Yet that pedestal was relatively low – the eagle was only about eight to ten feet off the ground. The closer I got to the pedestal, the less eagle I could fit into my frame. I zoomed the lens as wide as it would go (35mm) and the eagle still did not fit. I solved that problem by going to another camera with a wider lens (28mm) and it worked perfectly.
