Why do some professional photographers choose half a frame when shooting landscapes?

This question is hard to convince. It should be that the bigger the frame, the better the picture quality and the richer the details.

When shooting landscape works, in fact, we are most concerned about whether the framing is wide enough, which is determined by the focal length of the lens and the frame of the camera.

In terms of focal length, it is certain that the super wide-angle framing is wider, but there is inevitably the problem of perspective deformation, that is to say, the control perspective deformation is small and the picture scene is natural, so the focal length is appropriate and cannot be widened indefinitely.

This leaves the influence of camera frame on framing. Well, it must be that large format is better than Quan Huafu, and Quan Huafu is better than half format.

The question now is, do we all need such an open framing format when shooting landscape works? The answer is definitely not necessary. I think even a professional photographer, apart from the large-scale scenery films often published by National Geographic, I think what kind of camera to use to shoot scenery films is entirely based on the needs of shooting. In other words, as long as it is enough, you can take a panoramic view or a half view. There is no standard requirement for this.

So, don't wonder why professional photographers also use half a camera to shoot landscape films.

Similarly, a good landscape film, like portraits and other photographic works, depends on the photographer's grasp of the picture, composition, color and artistic conception, as well as his perception of the beauty and shock of the scene. A good landscape work is not only a beautiful perspective, but also must be infectious and shocking!

When full-frame digital SLR cameras first appeared, they were expensive. In order to popularize digital SLR cameras, half-frame digital SLR cameras with lower price and lighter weight have appeared.

Nowadays, the price of full-frame digital SLR cameras (including micro-single cameras) has become civilian compared with the past, and there are many models to choose from. Why is there a half-frame figure? This is because the focal lengths of the two perspectives are different, which leads to different picture effects under the same physical distance and lens focal length.

At present, the focal length of a half-frame of mainstream brands is usually 1.5 times that of Quan Huafu (Canon is 1.6), that is, under the same physical distance and lens focal length, a half-frame picture looks 50% to 60% closer than that of Quan Huafu. Why do you say that? I just want to express one meaning: We can use the focal length difference between Quan Huafu and half-frame to choose composition, which is the main significance that half-frame still exists today.

The following two photos were taken with a lens focal length of 70 mm, and the first one was taken in the window of the room, at close range, Quan Huafu. The second one was taken downstairs, which was far away and took half a frame.

It can be seen that the fullness of the composition of the two photos is similar, which is based on the principle that the focal length of the half-frame fuselage is longer. If the second photo also uses Quan Huafu 70mm, it will bring miscellaneous elements into the picture and affect the effect.

In the same way, look at the following two photos, which were also taken with a 70mm lens focal length:

It is easy to see that the second half of the frame is better: highlight the key points and have no redundant elements.

Seeing this, some people may ask: Isn't it good to change a telephoto lens on the Quan Huafu? Theoretically, it is. In fact, due to the environmental constraints (dusty and dangerous terrain) or time constraints (fleeting moments) when shooting, you can't wait until you change the lens and concentrate on shooting calmly. At this time, two cameras and two mirrors are the best choice: the wide-angle lens is hung on the Quan Huafu, and the medium telephoto lens is hung on the half frame. If you want to shoot any composition, you just need to lift the corresponding body to shoot.

Good evening, teacher. I also choose to take a half-frame camera to shoot. Because you shoot more with a longer lens when you go out, you install 80-400 lens on Nikon D750 camera, which makes the telephoto of the shooting lens longer and the shooting effect better [like] # Liang Jiantu said China #

You have to ask, why do some professional photographers use camera phones when shooting landscapes?

Yes, many famous photographers I know like to shoot with camera phones. Of course, many of them are often taken with a card machine.

It is better to buy a good monitor than to spend a lot of money on photographic equipment.

Let me analyze your question in detail:

First, National Geographic magazine is realistic, as long as it is enough.

National Geographic, after the popularization of 120 camera, has long abandoned the large format camera.

After the 35mm film camera reached very good quality, it soon abandoned the 120 camera.

After the digital camera basically reached the standard, 35mm film was quickly eliminated.

That's right. Do you think National Geographic magazine is very interesting?

Second, for most paper media at present, in fact, the imaging quality is really not the key concern.

After all, most exquisite magazines, that is, 16 format, are spread, which is equivalent to A3 size.

The A3 size is about the size of two pieces of A4 paper.

what do you think?

For example, I have published photos in many media, and I have published many photography books myself, which also use top paper and the best printing technology. Honestly, it's the same up there.

For the best paper and the best printing technology, A3 size, now most digital cameras can easily meet!

Third, what about electronic displays?

Many imax movies in cinemas only have 2k sources and 2k projectors, and the top ones only have 4k sources and 4k projectors.

Where is the TV? Although there are 8k TV sets now, most people only have 1080p or 4k TV sets.

What about the computer? Most computers only have 1080p or 2k, 4k.

Of course, the Apple computer is 5k, and it is said that the 6k Apple computer will be launched soon.

2k, which is about 2 million pixels.

4k, which is about 8 million pixels.

8k, or about 32 million pixels.

Four, 1 inch card machine, M43 micro-single, APS format SLR or micro-single, in fact, the picture quality is enough to print a beautiful A3 size, but also enough for 4k5k computer monitors.

Of course, an 8k monitor or 8k TV needs 32 million pixels, which most digital cameras can't reach at present.

5. Do you think I am a pixel-only theory? Don't think about anything else

What else? Anything special?

RAW format, 12, 14, or 16?

Tolerance, 12, 13, 14, 15?

Sharpness, you don't necessarily think that the bigger the negative, the stronger the resolution of the lens?

You are wrong. The larger the negative, the worse the resolution of the lens.

The lens resolution of large format film camera is very poor.

No matter in theory and principle, or from a practical point of view, you can compare A3 printing, A3 printing and Apple 5k display, and you can compare and test different cameras.

See if I'm talking nonsense.

Why do some professional photographers choose half a frame when shooting landscapes? I really haven't heard of this.

There are many photographers around me, as well as some professional photographers. We often go out for sightseeing. We have never seen them use half a frame to shoot scenery, nor have we heard them say so.

In fact, when shooting ecological birds, some photographers do like to shoot with a half-frame camera.

We know that generally speaking, when shooting landscapes, we are all looking for big scenes and broad momentum, which requires us to choose equipment with larger frames and wider lenses when shooting.

Choose half-frame to shoot ecological birds, because half-frame is converted into Quan Huafu with the magnification of 1.5 or 1.6, so many friends will choose half-frame camera to shoot birds and other subjects, because I use Nikon, so I know that Nikon D500 is the choice of many Nikon photographers to shoot birds, because it has fast focusing speed, strong chasing ability and good continuous shooting, which may be one aspect that many people choose.

In addition, if someone likes to shoot half a landscape, that may be the reason. Generally speaking, the better part of most lenses is in the center. When shooting with a semi-camera, the selected picture is just close to the center, and the edge quality is slightly poor. I think that's probably the reason.

The above is my opinion, welcome friends to exchange.

Sword dance images, western photographers, welcome to pay attention.

Forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I've heard of it. I only know that some bird photographers choose half a frame because it can increase the focal length. For example, Canon 7d with 400 lens can reach 640 field of view.

As for shooting scenery, it is even more incredible to replace Quan Huafu with half a frame. Because we shoot scenery, we pursue a wide field of vision. We all use wide-angle lenses, such as Canon's 16-35, 1 1-24 and so on. If we use half a frame, is it still called wide angle?

Some people may say that the scenery of Quan Huafu is less than half a frame when shooting the same scene in the same place, so the advantage of Quan Huafu is the portrait, and half a frame is more suitable for the scenery. This is just an imagination. In practical application, the influence of frame on depth of field can be ignored. What really affects the depth of field is the aperture and focal length. For example, small and medium apertures and wide-angle lenses are generally used to shoot landscapes in order to obtain sufficient depth of field.

Have different eyes. Because the sensor size in Quan Huafu is larger than half a frame and the same lens is used at the same shooting distance, the scenery in Quan Huafu is much wider than half a frame. Although increasing the shooting distance can solve half a frame, most scenes are difficult to do. For example, the site is small and the prospect is complex, so it is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

Of course, half a picture still has the advantage of light weight and low price, but as a professional photographer, do you still care about these? They usually pay more attention to pictures and quality, and Quan Huafu is undoubtedly a better choice.

Playing photography is a feeling and a hobby. What is an ugly picture? It's a red circle and a golden circle. Happiness is the key. E0S7D+ Marten 18~400+ fine tuning, not bad.

Professional photographers choose half a frame to shoot landscapes? I really don't understand. Choose half a frame? It is really a strange problem that photographers use a half-frame camera instead of a full-frame camera, but in one case, photographers may choose a half-frame camera, that is, they use a telephoto lens to shoot birds or landscapes, and its zoom is 1.5 times, that is, the 500-mm telephoto lens becomes 7500mm on the half-frame camera, and even close-ups can be taken when shooting birds, but this topic says.

As a common sense of photography, photographers know that shooting scenery is generally a big scene, so it is advisable to use a wide-angle lens with a small aperture, which requires clear imaging and rich layers. These basic requirements are not the advantages of half-frame cameras, but the advantages of full-frame cameras. Why do photographers choose a half-frame camera?

I can't give a satisfactory answer, so I'm ignorant! [Cover your face] [Cover your face] [Cover your face]

I think the budget is a problem. Perhaps the budget for purchasing equipment was not sufficient at the beginning, so it took a long time to shoot half a camera, and gradually found that the fundamental factor affecting the quality of photographic works was not the equipment, but the concept.

So people who used half a camera at first realized the importance of creativity and technology in the shooting process, so they simply stopped pursuing Quan Huafu equipment.
