Introduction of telephoto lens suitable for shooting

Many people will be equipped with telephoto lenses, but the utilization rate of telephoto lenses is very low. The telephoto lens is also very heavy and takes up a lot of space, but I can't help it if I don't know how to use it. The following photographer's story is estimated to arouse your interest in telephoto lenses.

What lens can make you

Find the feeling of photography quickly?

Learning photography, interest is very important. Find the feeling and get started soon. If you can't find the feeling all the time, you will soon lose interest. Let's look at a group of works.

How's it going? Isn't it wonderful? This set of photos was taken by Russian photographer PhillipHaumesser. It's hard to imagine, Philip

Homer hasn't been in contact with photography for a long time.

At the beginning of 20 15, Philip

Homer's wife Natasha gave him a simple request. She wanted him to take more photos of the children instead of buying him a camera (that's the point). I didn't expect Philip

Haumesser quickly entered the state and shot a series of works, which exceeded Natasha's original requirements.

"I found my own excuse to learn photography, that is, to spend time with my children. This is my favorite thing to do now!" Haumesser said. Therefore, interest is the best teacher. Haumesser can quickly find the feeling of photography, which is related to the lens he uses.

How were these photos taken?

Philip

Homer's photos basically reflect the carefree happiness of childhood. These photos were taken on their own 10 acre farm. The children walked with their animal companions and talked with curious cows, geese and chickens. The photos are sweet and natural, and they are very popular on the Internet.

How were these photos taken? Let's take a look at his shooting process.

This shooting distance is at least 10 meter, and it can be judged that the focal length is above 300 mm

The shooting distance of this picture should be at least 15 meters, and the focal length should be above 400 mm

After comparison and speculation, the lens used by PhillipHaumesser is a bit like Sigma 150-600mmf/5-6.3DGOS.

HSM. The focal length is long enough. Although it is not a bull's head, it can still exert its power under good lighting conditions.

What are the characteristics of telephoto?

Generally, when a novice buys a camera for the first time, he either chooses a headset, such as 18- 105mm or 18- 135mm, or chooses a portrait lens, such as 50mm or 85 mm. He has little contact with telephoto and does not know enough about its characteristics.

First of all, we must understand the division of telephoto lenses. A long focal length lens refers to a lens whose focal length is longer than that of a standard lens. It can be divided into ordinary telephoto lens and super telephoto lens. The focal length of an ordinary telephoto is close to that of a standard lens, the focal length from 85 mm to 300mm is an ordinary telephoto, and those above 300 mm are super telephoto. If you want to buy a telephoto lens, you need to make the following points clear:

1. weight. For telephoto, a good lens is not light. Take the classic Canon Xiaobai series as an example. F2.8 The aperture weighs about 3 kg. Many people have no idea about this weight. Isn't 3 Jin very light? If the fuselage is added, the fuselage of Quan Huafu is about1.7kg.. Plus the lens weight is close to 5 kg.

You won't feel tired for a short time at this weight, but after a long time, you will obviously feel tired. Therefore, for people with poor physical strength, the utilization rate of buying telephoto lenses is not high. One of the important reasons is that they are too heavy. Of course, telephoto lenses are also very light, such as 18-200mm and 70-300mm lenses. This brings us to the next question.

2. Aperture. The telephoto lens has two names, one is the bright lens and the other is the sunshine head. A bright lens refers to a lens with a relatively large aperture, such as the lens of F2.8, which is more expensive. Sunshine lens is a lens with relatively small aperture and relatively cheap price, such as 70-300mm.

A lens like f/4.5-5.6. You need to rely on good light to ensure the quality and effect of shooting.

For these two kinds of lenses, the gap is very large, except for the price gap, there are obvious gaps in focusing speed and image quality. If you want to buy a telephoto lens, just buy an expensive lens.

Aperture is very important for telephoto lenses, mainly reflected in two points. First, you can ensure that the picture is not blurred. Such as 70-200mm.

A lens like F2.8 can be shot by hand in many cases to ensure the shutter speed. And 70-300mm.

A lens such as f/4.5-5.6 is very difficult to hold as long as the lighting conditions are slightly poor. The other is in the illusory effect.

There are three factors that affect blur: aperture, lens focal length and shooting distance;

1. aperture: the larger the aperture, the stronger the background blur effect;

2. Lens focal length: When shooting with telephoto end, the background blur effect is stronger;

3. Shooting distance: The closer the lens is to the subject, the farther the subject is from the background, and the stronger the background blur effect.

The biggest charm of using telephoto lens is that telephoto compresses the background, and the illusory effect brought by shallow depth of field is fascinating.

Does the telephoto lens work well?

Is it possible to take a good photo with a telephoto lens? It depends on whether you can use it. Take Philip.

Judging from Haumesser's photos, it can be said that the lens characteristics and advantages of telephoto are well mastered. Let's illustrate it with some photos.

In the photo above, except for a group of chickens, the photographer chose this angle because the background light source is very suitable for the blur effect of telephoto. Light sources with different light and dark backgrounds become light spots with different light and dark backgrounds and different colors after blurring, which makes the picture more dreamy.

Like the photo above, the choice of background is very important, but there is a small detail in this photo. Did you find it? Is that there is sunshine in front of the child. Just as the photographer used a very low angle, the light and shadow in front became a good front attraction. Compare these two photos, the same scene, the different effects brought by the change of light source in the foreground and background.

Regarding the use of telephoto lenses, I believe everyone will master the control of the depth of field of the picture. What is more difficult is how to find the right shooting scene. In addition to the above-mentioned foreground and background considerations, it is more important to understand that the longer the focal length of the lens, the narrower your shooting range. This is good for photographers. It will force you to compose a composition and carefully arrange the pictures you want to shoot. This photo seems to be a messy shooting scene. But this environment is very suitable for telephoto shooting. You only need to choose a small corner to make a big movie.

How's it going? Are you a little poisoned? If you have a telephoto lens, don't waste it. You can also make a big movie according to the method in this article. If you want to buy telephoto, please think clearly. Do you have physical strength and persistent passion for photography? Okay, telephoto is very expensive. If the utilization rate is not high, don't buy it easily.
