DAY 4: WIDE SHOT PHOTOGRAPH
There's definitely a reason for considering these shots first: wide angle lenses are unrivaled in capturing the beauty of an immense landscape. Your eyes are capable of taking in nearly 180 degrees of a scene at once and when you've got a beautiful view, you typically want a lens that can capture as much or more than what you're seeing.

Cut a rectangle from the sheets of paper at your tables.
Use your frame to compose a shot. Make a wide shot first.
Move the frame to change your focal point within the frame.
