Canon RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM Lens Sample Pictures

Having 10mm in the kit is game changing for interior architecture photography.

To garner this church's best symmetry, the camera was centered over the centerline of the floor tiles. Remember this easy strategy for your next shoot.

When getting the most architecture in the frame is the goal, move the camera as far away as possible. When photographing a ceiling, the floor becomes a hard limiting factor in this regard, making the ultra-wide 10mm angle of view a differentiator from most other lens options.

For this image capture, the Canon EOS R5 and RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM Lens were locked onto an RRS BH-40 Ball Head on an RRS TVC-24L Mk2 Carbon Fiber Tripod. Taking the most architecture in the frame theme to the limit, the TVC-24L's legs were angled fully open, bringing the camera within a few inches of the floor. The vertical side of the MC-LS Universal L-Plate was removed, permitting full rotation of the vari-angle LCD for straight-up composition.

For precise symmetry without converging lines, the lens must be centered in the scene and leveled, leveled in a straight-up angle in this case. Floor tiles and the lines between them are frequently helpful references for finding the absolute center of a building. After positioning the lens over the center of the center tile, adjusting the camera to perfectly straight up was the next challenge, one that required finessing, trial, and error.

With the camera a few inches above the floor, staying out of the 10mm angle of view meant me going nearly flat on the floor while the HDR brackets were captured. Never before have I seen this much of the St Patrick Cathedral ceiling in the frame.

Now is a good time to add 10mm to your kit!

Old churches and the Canon RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM Lens go well together. Especially old church ceilings feature incredible architectural design, and this lens can capture vast amounts of ceiling.

Many National parks are have good locations for car photography, including Shenandoah National Park. This speacial photo spot permits nothing but sky behind the car.

Drive the car, park, and take the picture. Simple right? Nope. It's never that easy. Photography is ever a challenge (part of its attractiveness), and in this case, the challenge was a beetle hatch.

Dozens of orange beetles were continuously landing on the car. Brush off the beetles, quickly grab a photo (while keeping a close watch on traffic), and repeat. The Photoshop healing brush easily took care the bugs that landed after the brushing.

While 10mm is this lens's most differentiating capability, the rest of its focal legnth range is also useful. This image was captured at 20mm.
