What lens do you take when you travel? Three travel photography lenses are enough.

Photography is essential in traveling. However, if there are more camera lenses, your burden will be greater and it may not be useful. So what lens should I take when traveling? If you are not going to road trip, professional photographer Phillip VanNostrand suggested that only three travel photography lenses are enough. So what kind of lens do you take when you travel? Let's have a look!

What lens do you take when you travel?

Because he is a user of Canon, these three lenses are Canon 15mm F2.8 fisheye lens, 50mm F 1.4 standard lens and 135mm F2 telephoto lens. You can also choose 24mm F2.8, 50mm F 1.8 and/with similar specifications but low price. Of course, this is just the lens that Philip Vannorthland likes to use. I hope everyone can find a lens that suits them.

F2.8 fisheye lens-shooting unique style 15mm

When traveling, architecture is one of the most frequently photographed themes. Due to the limited shooting location, the photos of many buildings are easy to be similar and have no new ideas. Therefore, we might as well use fisheye lens to photograph buildings, which can easily bring buildings into the viewfinder and increase the appreciation of photos with exaggerated deformation.

In addition, according to the different shooting angles, the fisheye lens can be played in many different ways: shooting buildings horizontally will cause barrel-shaped deformation, and if the shooting angle is reduced a little, you can shoot U-shaped deformation.

Of course, a great pleasure of fisheye lens, and * * *. The fisheye lens is a good travel recording tool, which can capture the surrounding environment easily without worrying about losing focus.

50mm F 1.4 standard lens-street shooting, low light shooting

50mm F 1.4 has a wide range of applications, and is suitable for taking portraits, landscapes and architectural themes, and it is very light, especially suitable for some street shooting. In addition, the focal length of the lens will not be too long or too short, and the distance from the subject will not be too far or too close when shooting. 50mm photos, just like the photographer is near the subject, the two can maintain a certain communication.

In addition, 50mm can be easily blurred, which is very convenient to highlight the theme. The large aperture of 50mm F 1.4 can easily cope with indoor shooting environments such as restaurants and buildings. And compared with 50mm F 1.8, 50mm F 1.4 has better optical quality, faster focusing speed and lighter weight than 50mm F 1.2.

135mm F2 telephoto lens-portrait and landscape shooting

135mm lens allows the photographer to have a long shooting distance, and can shoot the most natural action expression of the subject, while the perspective of telephoto lens can easily separate the subject from the background, with less image deformation, which is very common for the subject of portrait photography.

Shoot a lie through the lens

If there is enough shooting space, you can use a telephoto lens to shoot the scenery, or you can compress the picture to shoot a completely different feeling from a wide-angle lens.
