What lens is used for news photography?

The standard lens of photographers in the media is usually a big three yuan with a constant aperture of 2.8, because LZ is a half-frame machine, and the high sense will be insufficient compared with the whole set. Moreover, the shutter speed is guaranteed when the aperture is large in dark light, and the blurring of the large aperture is also very helpful to emphasize the subject. The focusing speed and imaging quality of these three lenses can greatly improve the film yield.

14-24 24-70 70-200 The maximum aperture is constant 2.8.

16-35 24-70 70-200 The maximum aperture is constant 2.8.

Let me take Nikon's big three yuan as an example.

Let's start with 24-70 F2.8.

24-70 can be said to be versatile, and general interviews or activities can be handled. Take a big scene with 24 endings, and then take a close-up of the middle scene between 24 and 70 as appropriate. It's a bit too much to take close-ups of 24-70 during competitions or performing arts activities. At this time, you can consider taking a 70-200 exam.

Let's talk about 14-24 F2.8 again.

14-24 Nikon's big light bulb is super wide-angle, but the photo range of super wide-angle is relatively large, but the corresponding distortion is also obvious. Moreover, in general news photos, there are not many pictures of big scenes, and more close-ups of middle scenes are needed to better reflect the events to the audience. Even so, wide-angle perspective makes photos more visually impactful. But, however, using too much will make people lazy and technically unable to go. Nowadays, many big media explicitly ask not to look through excessively deformed photos.

Finally, it is 70-200 F2.8

70-200 is commonly known as the Big Bamboo Gun. This lens is usually used to shoot performances. It is often used to shoot close-ups in competitions or conferences. If there is no lens to shoot people, it can also be used to shoot people. Moreover, it is not very convenient to pack 70-200 heads, so it is not used much.

These three kinds of lenses are commonly used by photographers, and some powerful journalists shoot with a fixed focus of 50 1.2 or a fixed focus of 35. After all, there are only a few. So these three shots are commonly used in news photography.

Finally, I want to mention that news photography is news-oriented, and photography is just a means. News photography judges the quality of photos not only by the shooting technique, but also by the shooting technique. What is more important is the value and significance of the content, whether it has high news value, whether it has the times, and whether it can convey the content expressed by the news to the audience well. So news photography is inseparable from news.

Equipment requirements for beginners of news photography:

1. Portable and heavy, so 1000D/450D (small size and light weight).

2. Simple operation. News content is fleeting, and the light and environment are complex. As soon as you set the exposure in a hurry, the cooked duck will fly! So 1000D/450D (simple keys and quick operation).

3. Cost-effective news photos don't need large-size output,/kloc-0.0 million pixels or more is enough, and SLR has all the common functions, and the price is cheap, so/kloc-0.000d/450d.

The key is the lens. Sometimes news photography does not have the conditions for changing lenses, so a zoom lens with a suitable focal length becomes the key. 450D has a set of 17-85, which can cope with general news scenes. Considering you are a beginner, we recommend these two entry-level SLR cameras.
