Shooting skills of convex lens photography props

Photographer Sam Hurd shared some shooting skills of photographic props this time, and this time it was a convex lens, which is common in magnifying glasses, microscopes and telescopes. By placing the lens in front of the lens and adjusting the position and angle, the light can be distorted, thus obtaining a special lens and luster. Photographers call this skill "lens shooting".

The advantage of this prop is that it can get unexpected image special effects very simply, and it can also be used as a temporary macro lens for emergency shooting details. Besides, it can be put in your pocket, even if it passes the airport security check.

Adding a convex lens to shoot can change the original light path, or you can increase the reflection with a glass lens. The reflected scene will not be directly reflected like a flat mirror, because the lens is curved and the reflected scene is curved. If well controlled, the reflected scene will have certain rules, such as the curved light points pointing in a certain direction together, which is very helpful for composition!

Observe the internal scene through a convex lens far away from the eyes. The scene inside is reversed, and the same is true when shooting with a camera. Post-processing just turns the photos upside down. It should be noted that the composition is reversed when shooting and should be adapted in advance. The focal length of the lens is close, so the surrounding environment is completely blurred. It is a good choice to compose according to the point.

As the photographer said, these props can add some unique elements to your work, but if they are overused, they will destroy your work. It is enough to have several unique elements in a group of works. Come and have a taste when you have the chance.
