How to use the 50mm fixed focus lens?

The 50mm lens has the most labels, such as humanity, portrait, standard, documentary, master, Bresson and so on. It can really explain some characteristics of the 50mm lens, but it will only limit shooting. In fact, 50mm can be used to shoot almost all subjects (in fact, any lens can "walk the world in one mirror"), not limited to humanities and the like. So, forget these labels and try to shoot different scenes with 50mm, and you will find more features.

2. Control the depth of field

Many people buy 50 heads for the cheapest big aperture. In fact, the best aperture of the traditional 50mm lens is often F8 or F 1 1. If the full aperture is reduced by one or two steps, the image quality will be greatly improved. In addition, blurring is not the better. As far as portraits are concerned, Jiao Wai blur looks really fresh at first, but some occasions are more suitable for taking portraits with large depth of field, sometimes it is close to the person being photographed, and even the blur brought by F8 is completely enough. Therefore, the so-called "big aperture syndrome" will be solved by trying other aperture gears besides the big aperture and controlling the depth of field according to the theme.

Be diligent in walking.

The perspective relationship of the shooting picture is only related to the distance between the camera and the object, so the statement that "50mm lens is 35 steps backward and 85 steps forward" is not rigorous. Because in the case that the picture contains exactly the same content, the perspective relationship will be different because of the different distance from the subject. However, this sentence reflects a feature of the 50mm lens, which is a wide range of uses. As long as you are diligent in walking and constantly adjusting the distance from the subject, you can shoot a work with a clear theme and fascinating. Especially if you are used to focusing, you should move back and forth as much as possible.

Be good at writing

The 50 mm lens lacks impact. This is a small disadvantage of the 50 mm lens. Compared with the wide-angle all-encompassing breadth and exaggerated distortion, the close-up of telephoto lens and the ability to compress space, 50mm is indeed moderate. Therefore, the 50mm lens has higher requirements for composition than other kinds of focal length lenses, and it needs to work hard on shooting composition and content. It is necessary to learn more from other people's compositions and master some formatting skills. The 50mm lens is more impressive in content than skill.

be in constant use

Force yourself to take only a 50mm lens on the trip and try to shoot everything with it.

50mm fixed-focus lens is also called standard lens, commonly known as "head". It is named because the viewing angle of 50mm focal length on Quan Huafu digital SLR is closest to the human eye. Fixed focus lens refers to a lens with a single fixed focal length. Before a large number of digital cameras equipped with zoom lenses emerged, fixed-focus lenses once existed as standard. Zoom and telephoto lenses provide great convenience for users, but they are not the best choice for digital SLR users to learn photography technology.
