What kind of camera is suitable for traveling?

Is it better to buy a telephoto camera or a SLR camera when traveling with your family?

The demand for family members to travel abroad is generally to take portraits and scenic photos. They are all shot at close range, emphasizing the image quality. You can consider micro-single to meet the dual needs of portability and image quality.

Cameras are divided into three categories: card telephoto SLR.

The advantage of telephoto camera is that it can take pictures from a long distance, mainly taking pictures of birds and the moon. The disadvantage is that CMOS size is not as large as SLR, and the picture quality is not as good as SLR.

The advantages of SLR cameras are large CMOS size and high image quality; The lens is detachable and can be replaced by itself according to the needs of taking pictures. The obvious disadvantage is that there are too many lenses and camera accessories, which are inconvenient to carry. More suitable for the professional needs of photography, not suitable for travel and entertainment.

There is a subdivision in SLR, micro-single, which is between the cross-border products of SLR and card machine. The most important feature of its structure is that it has no reflector and prism, thus reducing the volume and improving the portability.

To sum up, traveling abroad is a good choice in the case of portability and image quality.

1. Equipment: Theoretically, SLR cameras at any price on the market (Sony, Nikon, Canon, Leica, Hasselblad, Pentax) can shoot good scenery, ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 to 30,000 (I won't talk about higher prices), even to micro-cameras, digital cameras and some mobile phones now. Only look at your personal requirements, brand recognition, personal professionalism and economic foundation to determine the price level;

Second, their own professional ability: for beginners, even if you give him a Leica and go to Wonderland with the master, you may not be able to shoot good works, which depends on the accumulation of photographic knowledge, the support of photographic skills, the excavation and discovery of beauty, and the capture of static moments. It takes time and money to temper! Because taking pictures of scenery is a hooligan behavior that spends money running around. And after some awesome people become immortals, just grab a SLR and go to a barren land to shoot some irritating works!

Third, post-processing beautification: you may think that the scenery taken by others is awesome, but I can't do it with high-end equipment. Why? There is a key link that few people will mention (everyone in the industry knows it well), that is, photo post-processing. You have good equipment, good level and superb photo processing and beautification level. From the grass-roots Mito Xiu Xiu to professional photoshop, Niutu, light and shadow magicians and other software are secret weapons to enhance your works! Look, this will test the level of your beautiful picture!

Of course, if you just want to shoot some narcissism to satisfy yourself, then after understanding the above trilogy, you will choose! But if you want to make some awesome works that are earth-shattering, I'm sorry, please ask the great god for help!

The inherent idea is that the higher the machine configuration, the more expensive it is and the better the scenery. In fact, it is not absolute, but also depends on the specific situation. I will simply sort it out according to my own experience:

1, the scenery you can take when you arrive. For example, the snow-capped mountains, lakes and blue sky on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, fishing in Xiapu and so on.

The beauty of these places is natural. Whether you use tens of thousands or thousands of SLR, it makes no difference. This painting is beautiful, just like a picture scroll. If half a frame is removed, everyone can take the same picture. Perhaps the only difference is that the tolerance of the following pictures is different.

2. Beautiful scenery that needs to be photographed at the right time. For example, the contrast between light and shadow is obvious, such as Jesus light, backlight, dawn and sunset.

To tell the truth, these beautiful scenery are not difficult to shoot, but you need to find the right time to shoot. When the light ratio is large, the shutter speed can't keep up, and the image details are not completely preserved, which are common problems of low-end cameras. At this time, you have to have the right lens and tripod to get closer to the high-end machine. However, the effect is limited.

It is recommended to use at least 20,000 cameras to ensure smooth use.

3. Non-high-end machines cannot operate beautiful shooting. For example, city night view, light painting, star track, aurora, light track, stage photography and so on.

These subjects can also be shot with low-end machines, but photos can only be used as material. Why? Because in low light environment, only high-end machines can effectively remove and deal with noise under high ISO or long exposure, and keep more picture information, laying a solid foundation for post-processing.

Low-end models really can't control the shooting needs under special circumstances, and the noise in the later period or defocusing caused by shutter vibration will make people crazy. More than 30,000 cameras are your best choice.

Let's talk about the so-called scenery to be photographed first. Landscape photography, shooting objects are famous mountains and rivers, rivers and lakes, up to the sky and down to the surface, green mountains and green waters, sunrise and sunset. , can be painted. The biggest advantage of landscape photography is that it leaves enough time for composition and setting exposure parameters. Even the sunrise and sunset with rapidly changing light and shadow take half an hour to an hour to shoot. Landscape photography not only pays attention to composition, color, light and shadow, but also pays attention to the quality of image.

So when taking landscape photos, try to choose a better and more upscale SLR to shoot. The whole picture is definitely better than the half picture, and the high pixel is definitely better than the low pixel. As far as the brand is concerned, many people prefer Nikon to shoot better scenery, which I agree with, because it is said that Nikon's color is slightly green, but generally speaking, most people should know the RAW format when shooting scenery, so it doesn't matter if the color is biased!

There are many SLR cameras used to shoot scenery. You can say any one. Of course, machines are also necessary, but without good ideas, technology, accessories and shooting opportunities, good photos can't be taken.

It can only be said that it is a SLR of medium format and Quan Huafu, which is better than that of C format; High pixels are stronger than low pixels; Great tolerance can leave more possibilities and better space for the later period.

Send some photos taken by yourself, including micro-single, C format, Quan Huafu. In fact, just look at the photo effect, can you see which SLR is good?

So this question is still too general.

For landscape shooting, the machine is not too important to me, but the lens is the key! Although the picture of half a machine is not as big as the whole picture, at least it can be taken with some good ultra-wide lenses! Even a mobile phone will do!

Landscape shooting-not pursuing large aperture

General landscape shooting, because it needs a wide range of clear scenery, large aperture is not so practical here! Usually shoot F8 or even smaller aperture value! Therefore, the lens of landscape shooting only needs to meet the wide angle! Super wide angle is the best!

The importance of machines!

Scenery shooting doesn't have so many requirements for machines. Why do you say that unless it is a night scene, landscape shooting is not very important to the machine! Night shooting needs a high sense of machine, and a good sense of machine is definitely good. There is no doubt about it, but scenery shooting is usually in the daytime, so basically there is no need to worry about high sense! What's more, the function is so powerful now that the photos taken by mobile phones can be beautifully repaired, not to mention the SLR. As long as the lens is well matched, the landscape photos can still look good!

What kind of SLR camera captures the best scenery? Well, there are many purposes to take pictures of scenery, and there are many types of scenery itself.

According to different uses and different landscape categories, it is hard to say that there is a one-size-fits-all SLR camera, as follows:

First, there is a special kind of SLR camera called digital back SLR camera, such as Hasselblad and Freescale.

For example, you may think that many scenic blockbusters with online flashes look great!

But the network flash often uses Freescale SLR instead of Canon Nikon SLR!

But Freescale SLR has a problem, that is, it is too inefficient and troublesome.

For landscape photography, it is often necessary to capture. Well, scenery photography really often needs to be snapped, and you can't do it slowly.

Therefore, although Freescale SLR is really powerful in image quality, it is not flexible and convenient enough to be regarded as the best scenery photography equipment.

Freescale digital back SLR camera, is it the best landscape camera in the world at present?

Second, Canon SLR and Nikon SLR

Well, at present, it is recognized that Nikon SLR is more suitable for shooting scenery, especially Nikon D800 series has been recognized as the best scenery camera, and the latest Nikon D850 was even in short supply!

On the whole, Nikon D850 is the most ideal camera for shooting scenery movies. This model, if you use a tripod, can definitely play its greatest potential. If you don't use a tripod, you still have some flexibility.

Third, in fact, most landscapes don't need a good camera.

To tell the truth, it is enough to take a lot of scenery with your mobile phone. If you have an entry-level SLR or micro-single, that is more than enough.

Fourth, isn't it a misunderstanding that landscape photography pursues image quality?

I especially suggest you take a look at the landscape photography in Li Shaobai. After seeing the scenery in Li Shaobai, you will feel that the pursuit of image quality may really be a cloud. Li Shaobai, a master, is really headstrong. He basically doesn't need a tripod, and often takes high-quality scenery.

However, Master Li Shaobai gave up the pursuit of image quality, but he was really liberated and focused on the artistic conception and charm of the photo itself. So, after reading Li Shaobai's works, you may feel that, alas, it's just beautiful rubbish.

Master Li Shaobai, I have to say, you just started to contact, and you don't think this is a master.

Master Li Shaobai, when you have some shooting experience, you will be a great Li See again, and you will be a real master.

What did you say?/Sorry?

It must be a Quan Huafu SLR camera with a high dynamic range. The dark and bright parts of the photo record more information. If there is a need for post-editing, try to be as high as possible, which is most suitable for shooting scenery. Such as Nikon D850 and Canon 5D4.

This question should be what kind of camera collocation can take better scenery photos. Shooting scenery For cameras, first of all, a full-frame camera is bigger than a stump camera because it contains more pictures and has a wider viewing angle. Secondly, there should be higher pixels, better picture resolution and higher definition; Third, with a wide-angle lens specially used for shooting landscapes, such as 16-35mm, the impact of shooting pictures is strong. Fourth, buy corresponding kits, such as polarizer, medium gray gradient mirror, reduction mirror, etc., which are of great significance for taking landscape photos. As for what SLR you are talking about, you can refer to these indicators to choose.

A penny for a penny, of course, is a high-priced SLR and lens.

But it's not that machines can't shoot good scenery.

Nikon d850. It is often said that Canon takes portraits and Nikon takes landscapes. Then it shows that Nikon SLR camera has good definition, clear picture and rich color, which naturally needs these requirements for shooting scenery. If you often shoot scenery, you should choose a Nikon SLR camera, preferably from Quan Huafu, such as d850, which has high pixels and excellent image quality.

Discussion topic: Do you choose16-35,50 fixed focus or 70-200 when traveling with only one lens?

Traveling with only one lens, which one would you choose,16-35,50 fixed focus or 70-200?

This is a divergent multiple-choice question. No matter what option you choose, you can get full marks as long as you can say it.

These three lenses have two zooms and one fixed focus, all of which are good lenses.

First, 16-35 zoom lens is a classic in wide angle. The ideal focal length is very suitable for shooting large scenes of natural scenery, and the picture will be broad-minded, magnificent and very imposing, which is the killer weapon of the big scene people.

Second, 50 fixed-focus lens is a sharp weapon for portrait shooting. The lens with a focal length of 50 is moderate, and the imaging picture is very close to the visual effect of people looking at the world and people. The deformation of the picture is very small, and the works are neat and well-behaved, which is very suitable for close-range portrait shooting.

50 fixed-focus lens has excellent imaging quality. In addition to the neatness of the picture, the imaging of the 50-lens is stable, delicate and good in texture, which embodies the imaging advantages of the fixed-focus lens to the greatest extent. Zoom lenses with the same focal length can't be compared with fixed-focus lenses in this respect.

50 fixed-focus lens can take into account the scenery. Many people will disagree that 50 fixed-focus lenses can take into account the scenery. In fact, it is precisely because of the stable imaging characteristics of the 50 fixed-focus lens that it has great advantages and minimal deformation when shooting scenes, especially those with buildings. If you really think the scene is not magnificent enough, everything will be solved by filming.

Third, 70-200 is a good guy who takes care of small scenery and takes portrait shooting as the main thing. Because it is in the telephoto range, you can get a panoramic view of the "small scenery" and also show a certain sense of "space compression", such as sunrise in the morning and sunset at dusk, without which it is not big enough; Using it to shoot portraits can make the shooting distance longer and make the photographer easily avoid embarrassment; Its imaging is very textured and delicate, and it can see through autumn; When its telephoto advantage is given full play, with the use of large aperture, it can reflect a sufficiently blurred background effect.

At this point, the answer is self-evident.

I chose to bring Huawei P30 for the following reasons: First, the post-processing technology of mobile phones is perfect; Secondly, the pixels far exceed the SLR, which is convenient to carry, use and charge; Leica has a 50x super lens, which can be uploaded directly to the cloud. And so on. To tell the truth, 10 I played SLR and finally gave up. First, I spend more and more money on equipment; Second, I have made rapid progress in mobile phone photography technology. The third is the omnipotent post-processing technology of mobile phone software, the fourth is the carrying of very uncomfortable equipment and peripheral supporting equipment, the fifth is the waste of post-processing time of a large amount of electronic waste, and the sixth is the storage space of a large amount of electronic waste. In short, mobile phone photography can basically replace most SLR cameras now. Why do you need to bring bulky equipment? Let yourself relax and be simple, okay? Spend more time enjoying life, why be bound by a lot of heavy equipment? Life is short, I am not a slave of SLR, I just want to record my life with my mobile phone! Do not accept refutation!

Discussion topic: Do you choose16-35,50 fixed focus or 70-200 when traveling with only one lens?

If I can only hang one lens, I will not hesitate to choose 16-35mm lens. The main reason is to consider the convenience of travel and the practicality of the lens.

First, the convenience of travel.

Travel shooting, long journey, walking and shooting. Small lens and light weight are naturally the best choice. At this point, the selection order of three shots, 503570-200.

Second, the practicality of the lens.

Travel photography focuses on shooting landscapes and portraits, taking into account environmental portraits and human portraits. From the order of focal segments, it is 16-355070-200.

To sum up, after 70-200. Although it is an excellent weapon for shooting outdoor portraits, it has poor ability to take into account the scenery; The point is that the lens is long and heavy, and I have to give up.

Then now only 16-35 and 50 sets are left. 50 sets are really small and convenient, but the focal length is not good; Taking it out for a trip will definitely lose too many beautiful pictures I want to be in the camera.

16-35 Among landscapes, portraits, environmental portraits and humanistic portraits, it is not enough to have only pure portraits. On the full-frame camera, images with a focal length of more than 50mm can be obtained by image cropping in the later stage.

In reality, it is still 16-35, and it is perfect to match 50 or 85. After all, the focus is on convenience, which will be icing on the cake!

This discussion topic is a bit deliberately difficult for me, that is, I will talk about my choice when I come. Of the three lenses, I will choose 50 fixed focus first, because my first fixed focus lens is 50 mm

This is a standard lens, and its visual range is neither wide nor narrow. It is more suitable for taking portraits, and it is acceptable to hang a camera when traveling. I like to travel light.

I don't like to carry anything too heavy. The most suitable of these three shots is 16-35, but I don't shoot the scenery of big scenes very much. 50 fixed focus is enough for me.

Choose only one of these three shots to see where to travel and what to shoot. Travelers choose 50 fixed focus like me.

Travel to the south and photograph the city scenery in the south. Landscape and pastoral selection 16-35, and sparsely populated places in the north choose 70-200.

Why did you choose 16-35 to go to the south? Because the buildings in southern cities are relatively dense, ancient towns and alleys, narrow bridges and flowing water space are suitable for large wide-angle storage.

If you bring a 50 in your composition, you will find a dilemma. The roads in ancient towns in the south are relatively narrow. One step forward is water, and the next step may be a wall.

Of course, every shot has its advantages. Fixed-focus lens can make you more diligent, and you will try more ways of composition for a better angle.

Zoom lenses may make you more dependent on the convenience of zooming and lose better composition skills.

If I travel to the northwest, I will choose 70-200, because the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the telephoto lens can only play a role in this environment.

For example, it's best to shoot 70-200 shots to the grassland, because the grassland mountains in the distance fluctuate and have light and shadow changes, which is more beautiful than entering the close-up view.

It is impossible to shoot 16-35 for the snow-capped mountains in Tibet and Xinjiang, but 70-200 is suitable for this distant snow-capped glacier.

If I only choose one travel shot from these three shots, I can only choose 16-35.

Judging from these three lenses, they are all excellent lenses, but each has its own professional fields.

50 fixed focus. A photographer needs a lens, but the shooting range is quite wide. Portraits, flowers, humanities and scenery are all competent, but it is not very convenient to shoot scenery, because its focal length is fixed at 50, and the wide angle is insufficient, so it is difficult to shoot big scenes. If traveling is to shoot scenery, it is still not a good choice.

16-35 lens. This lens is made for landscape photography. Its wide angle is very large, which can be integrated into a wider range and visual impact in landscape photography. Because it is a trip, we must focus on the local cultural landscape and beautiful scenery. If you want to shoot some cultural and folk customs of the destination, the telephoto segment of this lens is also qualified to shoot these. This lens has good imaging and image quality. So if it is a travel lens, this lens should be the best choice.

The above is my opinion, and friends are welcome to add or comment.

For these three shots, I'll choose 16-35. At present, the camera I hang every day is 16-35, which can give consideration to both scenery and humanities. 16 can shoot the scenery of big scenes, 35 can shoot the humanities, and I can take a step back and cut the picture as 50.

As far as tourism is concerned, the theme of 50 beats is relatively fixed, and the shooting needs of large scenes can also be solved, but it is more troublesome.

70-200 telephoto travel is generally considered as a supplementary existence, which is not recommended as the main lens, or you deliberately went to a place suitable for this telephoto lens.

The three lenses listed are not suitable for traveling in a single mirror. The focal length is too long or too short, and the standard fixed focal length 50 is not long or wide enough. 16-35 and 70-200 are best. If you can only choose one of the three mirrors, it will be 16-35. If you only bring a mirror, there are three more suitable choices than these three lenses: 1, 24-70, constant 2.8 large aperture, good image quality, but the disadvantage is that the telephoto is not long enough; 2, 24- 105 (Nikon is 24- 120), 4 constant aperture, good scenery and landscape portraits, relatively balanced focal length, aperture and image quality, which is a good choice for travel; 3, 28-300, the focal length is wide enough and long enough, and the zoom is nearly 1 1 times, which is Zhen Jing. However, canon's is not light, and it is a red circle, expensive; Nikon's lens, on the other hand, is light and affordable, and of course, it is not extravagant in image quality.

I happen to have 50, 70-200. If you take a portrait, 50 is the first choice. You are close enough to the person being photographed, so communication is more convenient, and you don't have to worry about tourists crossing back and forth. More importantly, although there is some distortion, the imaging is close to human vision, and the depth of field can be used to create a certain sense of space. Needless to say, sharpness is inexpensive and easy to carry. 70-200 portraits are very impressive, including 85, 105, 135 and other common portraits. Combining aperture and man-machine distance, it can be extremely blurred, but the sense of compression is not generally strong. Taking pictures of scenery and composition can also take pictures of exquisite scenery. But if you take a portrait in a scenic spot, you have to avoid the crowd, otherwise you really need patience.

These three lenses are excellent lenses with outstanding features and professional expertise. If you must give up, you can only choose this 16-35 lens. This lens is made for landscape photography. Its wide angle is very large, which can be integrated into a wider range and visual impact in landscape photography. Because it's a trip, so hang up lightly. This lens is the best choice. Visiting the beautiful scenery will focus on the local cultural landscape and beautiful scenery. If you want to take some folk close-ups of destinations, the 35 focal length of this lens can also be competent for these lenses. This lens has good imaging and image quality.

Why do you have to limit yourself to only one? I'm traveling now, and these three are with me at the same time.

One shot wide-angle, one shot close-up and one shot dark light, each with its own uses.
