Photographic Notes 44- How to Choose a Lens when Shooting Buildings?

Shoot the building with a wide angle. This is common sense that most people know, because buildings are often huge in space. If you stand close to it, or even inside it, it is difficult to photograph the whole building. Wide-angle lens has a large viewing angle and a wider field of vision, and the range of pictures taken is much larger than that of ordinary lens. Moreover, the wide-angle lens has a large depth of field, and objects from near to far will be very clear.

2, fisheye lens.

It can be understood as a "wider" lens than an ultra-wide angle, with a short focal length. The lens of this kind of lens protrudes forward in a spherical shape, and the shot picture remains basically unchanged except for the central scene, and the objects around the picture show exaggerated distortion effect. There is little practical application, and it is generally used for sub-creative shooting, because it is difficult to truly reflect the original appearance of the building.

3. Axis moving lens

The first thing to say is that the axis-shifting lens is very expensive, so many online tutorials say that "the axis-shifting effect is done later" because it is difficult to configure the axis-shifting lens in the early stage. The axis-shifting lens can well eliminate the deformation caused by the equipment, and the shot picture has more visual impact. Most photographers don't spend a lot of money on shifting lenses if they don't specialize in shooting architectural needs.
