What lens is good for Canon 7d (what telephoto does Canon 7d match)

The last issue introduced some methods of shooting rockets with close-range trigger cameras. Of course, it is also possible that you happened to be in Disneyland with your family and happened to meet a rocket launch, or an ordinary rocket enthusiast without media photography qualifications, or a down-and-out media person. Then don't. It's okay. In this issue, I will introduce the main points of telephoto photography from Gongdi. These are for you.

Here, I don't want to spend too much time telling you where the best photography location is at Kennedy Space Center. I believe you all have your own answers. If you are a media colleague, congratulations, you will be able to watch the launch from a place closer to the general audience, and of course you can take more beautiful photos. Don is worried that ordinary friends, such as Tui Park, Cocoa Beach and even Discovery Tower in Kajiao Port, are several kilometers away from the launch pad. As long as you spend a little money on tickets, they are excellent places to take pictures.

So, what kind of equipment do you need to shoot rockets that take off a few kilometers away? Generally speaking, the most important thing to shoot at such a distance is of course a good telephoto lens. The longer the better. Personally, I use Sigma 120mm300mm f 2.8 sports lens with Canon 2X magnifier lens, which is equivalent to a 600mm F5.6 long lens. This is enough to film the rocket taking off.

My equipment, Canon 7D MKII uses Sigma120mmm300mm2.8 lens and Canon 2X magnifying glass, Canon 5D MKIII uses Sigma 50mm F 1.4 lens, and Canon EOS M uses Canon135mm F2.0L.

So what is the actual effect of using the above equipment?

Orion made its first flight. Shoot my Canon 5DMKIIII and 600mm F5.6 lens.

The above is the actual effect of shooting the rocket take-off with a 600mm lens 5 kilometers away. I used the above-mentioned Canon 5D MKIII plus Sigma 120mm 300mm f2.8 lens and Canon 2X magnifying glass. This painting doesn't look particularly sharp, but it's not the lens or camera. In the early morning of traffic jam, the water vapor in the air will affect the quality of long-distance shooting.

Canon EOS M plus Canon 135mm F2.0L lens is used in the same place.

Canon EOS M is an APS SLR, and the focal length of 135mm is equivalent to that of 200mm Quan Huafu SLR. Therefore, before taking pictures, you should choose a camera with a suitable frame.

Quan Huafu SLR Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 50mm F 1.4 lens were shot in the same place.

Finally, we can draw a conclusion that rocket photography is very different from ordinary photography. When shooting the rocket taking off, the small aperture is not as unbearable as people think. After all, the engine flame will bring a lot of light.

In addition, the cheap surplus SLR has more advantages in long-distance rocket photography. Aside from the advantages of ghost SLR in lens versatility, the equivalent focal length of ghost SLR is often 135 times that of Quan Huafu SLR when the same lens is used. In other words, APS SLR has an advantage over Quan Huafu in long-distance photography.

What should we do if we happen to meet a rocket launched at night?

Congratulations. The rocket takes off at night and the shooting effect is the most beautiful. In addition, you can also try to play time-lapse photography to shoot the take-off trajectory of the rocket.

For time-lapse photography, we certainly need to use a small aperture and a long shutter. In general, I will set the camera to Gate B first, and then shoot with the remote control, because slight vibration or shadow caused by manual operation may reduce the quality of photos. Then set your ISO to 100 to ensure that the photos will not be overexposed in a few minutes.

My photo of Cygnus OA-6 was taken in time delay.

Good luck is important. So far, I have only taken such a delayed exposure. Above, I put my camera on the roof of the VAB space shuttle assembly building at Kennedy Space Center and took pictures with Sony A7RII and Canon 1 1mm24mm F4L lenses. Unlike some people, this photo is composed of six photos exposed for 30 seconds. Compared with the overall exposure, this scheme is easier to control the exposure, and you can try it if you have the opportunity.

Finally, I want to say a few words. If you are not an avid high-level photographer, it is not recommended that you concentrate all your energy on taking pictures when observing the shocking scene of rocket take-off for the first time. After all, the most important thing to watch the rocket launch on the spot is to feel the overwhelming sonic boom. In the end, you will love her.
