1. If you are using a wide angle lens try to get as close to the subject as possible. Since you are probably standing behind a fence at least 100 feet away understand that you will necessarily get other people and families in your pictures. Turn it into a benefit!<\/p>\n

2. Be careful where you keep your lenses as you walk around the park. Realize that putting them under the stroller may not be that great of an idea. Don\u2019t cry when the 2 year old spills his milk, even though your favorite lens sopped it all up.<\/p>\n

3. If your wide-angle lens suddenly goes out of commission, remember your phone. Not only is it an awesome wide-angle lens, you will be able to process and share the fun you are having as you sit guarding the stroller or nursing the infant while everyone else is on a sloooow rail tour of the entire park.
