Understanding Lenses
Are you confused about all those numbers on your lenses? Or when to use which one? Or, maybe you’re just getting into photography and you are not sure which lens/lenses will be right for you. Lens choice is probably the most important decision you will make regarding image quality and style-next to the camera body itself. Gaining a strong understanding of lenses could save you a ton of money over time, helping you minimize your gear by only purchasing what you truly need.
Join us this week as we take a deep-dive into all things lenses. We will discuss what all those numbers mean-from the aperture to filter size , to focal length and more. We will talk about the difference between wide angle, mid-range and telephoto lenses, as well as their practical uses. You’ll understand the difference between a “fast” and “slow” lens is-and why it matters.
Once we cover the basics, we will talk about how to use these lenses in a more creative and compelling way. Your lenses are your artistic tool. Learn to use them to their fullest potential!
