Last week while accompanying my husband on a buisness trip to Linz, Austria, I decided to diverge and take a solo adventure to Vienna, just an hour away from Linz. I've long been interested in history and design, and wandering the streets of Vienna seemed like the perfect way to immerse myself in this historic city. Typically when I travel with my slr, I like to limit myself with just one lens -- limit, depending on how you see it :)
The 35mm is a great and very versatile lens, although I am still getting used getting up close and personal with the Europeans so get more interesting street shots -- but that will come I am sure, the more comfortable I am with being the "American Abroad," the more comfortable I will be wielding my camera this way and that way . . . but back to the lens - - - it is lightweight, unobtrusive, and takes extremely sharp images, which makes it ideal for travel. I would also recommend just traveling with the 50mm lens. While you may think that just one fixed lens for travel would limit you for getting each and every shot you want, it may, or you can think about it as a challenge to your creativity in finding what works best with just one lens.
Vienna is undeniably beautiful, and even in my short trip, this city really captured my heart.
Happy travels . . . xx
