This file shot from last summer's Parks and Recreation Playground Program, demonstrates the benefits of a wide-angle lens. A 24 mm lens enabled me to stay near this group of kids, yet maintain an angle of view that captured all 11 subjects within the horizontal and vertical frame. In comparison, a 50 mm lens in the same location would have reduced my view to possible four children.

Zoo keepers use fish to get Rockhopper penguins to walk though a scanner in order to scan them Tuesday in London Zoo. The photo opportunity was organized to mark the annual process of scanning the birds at London Zoo, which has over 16,000 animals, of which almost all are microchipped to aid in their animal husbandry, apart from their small birds and fish. The Rockhopper penguin usually lives in sub-Antarctic islands.
