What is the telephoto lens in photography? How should I shoot?

Telefocus adjusts the scale of the subject in the capture background. Telephoto is particularly important in portrait shooting. Here is a brief introduction to the benefits and skills of telephoto shooting.

1, the advantages of taking portraits with long focal length.

The choice of focal length directly affects the proportion of the subject in the picture, thus determining the visual effect of the photo. The reason is that it is easy to use, and the zoom lens can enlarge or reduce the scene in situ. This is of course a simple way of composition, but it is by no means the best way to shoot portraits.

The advantages of using the medium telephoto lens are less deformation, normal perspective and simple operation. Because of its small shooting angle and deep scene, it has obvious compression effect on the scene, which can blur the messy scene, make the characters more prominent and the picture more stable.

2, telephoto framing skills.

The framing of telephoto still follows several composition rules, such as three-point composition, diagonal composition and tic-tac-toe composition. In addition, the unique compression of telephoto makes it easier to capture the use of foreground. For shooting in cities, telephoto has its advantages in capturing depth, such as tunnels, passages, docks, street lamps, etc., which are especially suitable for telephoto. In the wild, telephoto is also the best choice to bring distant scenery closer to the model.
