How to use telephoto

The telephoto lens is characterized by a small depth of field, which is conducive to blurring the background and highlighting the subject. Close-range shooting of long-distance subjects is not easily affected by light and environment, but the foreground and background are compact after imaging, and the sense of space is poor.

The use of telephoto lenses requires higher camera stability, because the safety shutter speed of telephoto lenses requires higher requirements. Especially in low light environment, it is easy to take blurred photos. Therefore, it is suggested to improve the ISO sensitivity or use a tripod to improve the shooting success rate.

Whether shooting animals on the ground or birds flying in the sky or resting on branches, telephoto lenses are the first choice. Especially when shooting birds, telephoto lenses of 400 mm to 800 mm are often used. Even if shooting in the zoo, it is recommended to use a telephoto lens of more than 200 mm ... because telephoto lens can not only capture the most natural state without disturbing animals, but also blur the background and artificial scenery.

In order to prevent children from being nervous when they find someone taking pictures of themselves, it is best to take a snapshot with a telephoto lens, so that they can take the most realistic and natural photos without affecting their children as much as possible.

In addition, the use of telephoto lens can not only shorten the distance of children, but also better compress the background, blur the background and highlight children.

When shooting the sun, it usually takes a small proportion in the picture because of the long distance. In a standard 35mm photo, the sun has a focal length of1100. If a standard lens of 50mm is used, the size of the sun is 0.5 mm. If a lens of 200mm is used, the size of the sun is 2 mm By analogy, with a telephoto lens of 400mm, the size of the sun can reach 4 mm.

When shooting the sun with a telephoto lens, the sun looks very huge, and the distant mountains and nearby trees show a silhouette effect, which increases the layering and contrast of the picture.

Using telephoto lens to enlarge the sun in the picture can highlight the main body and enhance the visual impact of the picture. Therefore, if you want to make the sun bigger in the picture, you need to use a lens with a longer focal length.

No matter the athletes on the shooting stage or the sports field, in most cases, they can't get close to the subject and can only shoot in the distance. So if the focal length of the lens is not long enough, the subject will be very small, which is not conducive to the performance of the subject.

Using telephoto lens can effectively zoom in on the subject. If the shooting stage or stadium is large and many people are moving, it will be more convenient to use telephoto lens to select and compose content, so that actors or athletes can become a wonderful part of the picture. In the same way, when shooting the humanistic documentary theme, in order to ensure that the subject is still in the original state when shooting, the telephoto lens should be used for long-distance shooting to avoid disturbing the subject.
