Read This If You Want To Take Great Photographs - Henry Carrol: Lens
They radically alter your relationship with your subject and the way you take pictures. Zoom allows you to zoom in or out. Prime lenses are fixed lenses. Focal lengths are short or long, longer lengths makes objects seem closer. Fields of view are wide, like a wide angle lens, or narrow, like a telephoto lens. Wide angle lenses (or short focal lengths) cause periphery details to play an all important role. As wide angle lenses create a lot of space in an image, you really have to nail your composition. Telephoto lenses transform you into a hidden observer - someone who is suddenly able to capture subjects unawares. Telephoto lenses give the illusion of compressing depth, making everything seem flatter. A standard focal length gets you close to your subject, without being too close. Prime lenses offer a wider maximum apertures, giving a much shallower depth of field. The most common macro lenses tend to be telephoto primes.
Examples:
- Wonder from Full of Grace by Holly Andres
- Lanzarote by Jeanloup Sieff
- Head #6 by Philip-Lorca diCorcia
- Sao Paulo, Brazil by Rene Burri
- Inside the Bluehouse by Muzi Quawson
- I'm Koo by Youngjun Koo
- Dew On Me by Shikhei Goh
Join me next week as we delve into the last section, seeing!
