What lenses of different focal lengths are suitable for shooting.

Different focal lengths are suitable for shooting subject matter.

Different focal lengths have different viewing angles, so when shooting different subjects, there are often more suitable viewing angles and more suitable focal lengths.

1. Fisheye, fisheye can present a special effect and has a wide range of subjects, especially suitable for shooting large scenes.

2. Ultra-wide angle. Ultra-wide angle generally refers to a focal length below 24mm. Because of its large viewing angle, it is suitable for shooting large scenes, buildings, and landscapes. Also suitable for new room photography.

3. Standard zoom lenses generally start at 24mm or 28mm and end around 70mm, 85mm, and 120mm. It’s a daily hang-up lens. It is suitable for a wide range of subjects, and the lenses included in all camera manufacturers' kits are often within this focal length range.

4. Macro lens: 100mm, this focal length contains some of the most popular macro lenses. The shooting distance is moderate and will not disturb the subject when shooting insects and other subjects. At the same time, a certain shooting distance will not cause too much perspective effect, so that the subject is not deformed.

5. Wide-angle focal length: 24mm and 28mm, which is a standard wide-angle focal length, mainly used for shooting landscapes. It can also take portraits, but there are far more landscape shots at this focal length than other subjects. 24mm is wider than 28mm, so it is better.

6.35mm, known as the master focal length, is also known as the humanistic eye. The best focal length for photographing people. When taking humanistic photos, the small wide-angle 35mm can not only include the background, but also highlight the relationship between people and the environment, highlighting the key to shooting humanistic photos. The reason why 35mm is called small wide-angle is because the wide-angle lens used to be about 35mm, and now 35mm is also called general wide-angle.

7. Standard focal length: 50mm, standard focal length, good for shooting humanities and portraits, also known as master focal length. Most people either prefer 35mm or 50mm. This difference is basically reflected in the accustomed viewing angle when shooting humanities. Just pick one of these two focal lengths and stick to it.

8. Portrait close-up: 85mm, the focal length for shooting portraits. It has a good background blur effect, good picture cropping capabilities, and can maintain an appropriate communication distance from the model. Mainly used for model headshots or close-ups.

9. Portrait close-up: 135mm, portrait focal length, need to be farther away from people. It is suitable for taking close-ups of people. If you want to take full-length portraits, being far away from the people will hinder communication.

10. Focal length: 135mm lens, telephoto focal length: 200mm and 300mm telephoto focal length, for shooting distant scenery, birds, lotus, sports and other scenery that are not very far away. There are also many used for shooting portraits, and the large aperture has a strong background blurring effect.

11. Super telephoto: 300mm or more, good for shooting wild animals, sports, etc., sunrise and sunset, full moon and quarter moon. There are not many shooting subjects using super telephoto, and it is rarely used by ordinary enthusiasts.

Summary:

1. Nothing is certain. It does not mean that you have to use a wide angle to take portraits or a telephoto to take landscapes. Just in terms of film output, a certain focal length is suitable for certain subjects.

2. Beginners should try to use the appropriate focal length to shoot the appropriate subject.
