Analysis of 35mm Portrait Photography Skills

1.35mm is the focal length that can be attacked and defended when shooting people with scenery.

If only one fixed focus can be selected, then the focal length of 35mm is the most ideal fixed focus lens. As a small wide-angle fixed-focus lens, it covers a wide range of pictures, not only shooting people, but also shooting most of the surrounding environment that shows people's activities.

The nearest focal length of 35mm fixed focus is generally 0.25-0.3m Close-ups of people can take a few steps forward, and still-life close-ups of food and products can also have more details. Taking a few steps back to describe the environment, pure scenery, and even people with scenery are very flexible. This focal length can give photographers enough composition space to practice their sense of lens.

The sense of lens is cultivated through enough practice. When 35mm fixed focus can deal with various themes such as scenery, portraits, humanities and night scenes, the frequency and efficiency are very high. For beginners, the speed of progress is naturally faster. Moreover, the 35mm fixed-focus optical structure has the characteristics of wide viewing angle and short close-range shooting distance. When it is used with high pixel model, it can also act as a practical macro head.

Second, fixed focus, high quality, 35mm noble house

After getting used to the fixed-focus lens, it won't be too difficult to use zoom as the head, but after getting used to it, there is no need to use the fixed-focus lens, because apart from the difference in focal length, the image quality and large aperture characteristics of the fixed-focus lens are beyond the envy of ordinary zoom lenses. At the same price, the quality of fixed-focus lens is higher than that of zoom lens.

The reason is caused by the structure of the lens group. Generally speaking, high-quality lenses such as fluorite, ultra-low dispersion lenses and nano-coated lenses will be used more in fixed focus to improve light transmission and refraction performance; Moreover, the fixed-focus lens has a simple structure and few lenses, which virtually reduces the chromatic aberration caused by internal refraction, and Gao Fancha is not prone to purple edge. In contrast, zooming is not only easy to produce chromatic aberration, but also the sharpness will be greatly reduced because of multiple lenses. Therefore, it is generally said that the fixed-focus image quality is high, especially compared with the zoom with similar price.

On the 35mm gold focal spot, different brands have their own brand focusing settings, such as Canon EF 35mm F 1.4L II USM, Sigma 35mm F 1.4 DG HSM Art, carl zeiss 35mm F 1.4 and so on. , are typical representatives.

Third, the limitation of focal length forced Meng Xin to consider better composition.

When you are using a zoom lens, the framing operation may be to stand in the same place and turn the zoom ring without thinking until you get the right scene; After choosing fixed focus, there is only one scene because of the limitation of focal length. In order to let the favorable elements into the picture and avoid the unfavorable elements interfering with the picture, Meng Xin needs to walk around, observe the composition with his eyes at any time, and delete the elements until he finds the best angle.

And after such high-speed exercise and observation practice, you will develop the habit of simplifying pictures and thinking. Over time, the next time you lift the camera, you will be familiar with the field of vision of the lens. With the blessing of quick thinking, the picture has naturally formed in your mind, and the intuition of composition will force you to press the shutter. In other words, with the lovely fixed focal length of 35mm, good photos have automatically appeared in your mind during the walking back and forth, and the composition has become intuitive.

Fourthly, the Jiao Da aperture is set to make it more conducive to shooting in low light.

Limited by its size and weight, the zoom lens cannot make a larger aperture. However, the aperture of fixed-focus lenses is generally relatively large. Common brands such as F 1.4 and F2.8 will also focus on large-aperture lenses of 35mm, such as domestic Zhong Yi and Leica, and even the aperture value of F0.95

With a large aperture, it can give photographers faster shutter and shooting freedom at night or in low light environment, and it is also beneficial to hand-held shooting and maintain low sensitivity. However, it is easy to rely on large aperture when practicing technology from fixed focus. In addition to the attraction of night scenes and low-light shooting, a large aperture can also obtain a creamy Jiao Wai and a layered Jiao Wai transition.

However, although large aperture is easy to take fuzzy and soft photos with large depth of field, if you blindly pursue large aperture, you will also fall into a strange circle of large blur shooting, which requires special attention.

5. The fixed focus structure is simple and the weight is relatively portable.

Because the fixed-focus lens has relatively few lens groups, simple structure, less concerns about volume and weight, and the weight of large-aperture lens will not be exaggerated. Taking the 35mm F 1.4 lens as an example, Nikon AF-S Nicol 35mm f/ 1.4G weighs 600g, Sigma 35mm F 1.4 DG HSM Art weighs 665g, and Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm F 1.4 ZA weighs 630g, although. However, even the Canon EF 35mm F 1.4L II USM, whose volume control is criticized, does not weigh more than 800g(760g), which is common. Compared with 24-70mm, the fixed-focus lens with 800g imaging is still very advantageous and more portable than most advanced zoom lenses.

Moreover, as a famous street sweeping focal section, the 35mm fixed focus with a single camera not only makes the overall weight control of the camera perfect, but also makes the fixed focus shooting very convenient, so that it can be closer to the crowd and see details that cannot be seen by large-volume lenses such as zoom or telephoto.

Summary: the on-hook head is a lens that can be hung on the fuselage at any time, which can meet the shooting needs of most of our scenes; Although the focal length of fixed-focus lens is limited, relatively speaking, its image quality and production technology are higher and its weight is relatively more portable. And the 35mm focal length can be attacked and defended. Whether shooting humanities or sketching, you can get a suitable framing picture by walking manually. Limiting the focal length can also give people more time to think about composition and how to express themes and emotions with a focal length of 35mm.
